District Day at the Legislature

All of the Conservation Soil & Water Districts in Maine work together and are members of the Maine Association of Conservation Districts. However, each district is a little different and focuses on their own conservation efforts based upon their own Board of Supervisors. Conservation District Day at the Statehouse Hall of Flags in Augusta gave us an opportunity to speak directly with our Legislators who listened to our concerns. Elected Officials, school groups and visitors stopped by the display throughout the day to gain additional information and learned about conservation education and what natural resource technical assistance is provided by the District.
