What is the Cape Cod Conservation District?
The Cape Cod Conservation District was established in 1947 as a local component of state government. Its mission was to help landowners with resource issues relating to soil and water.
The Cape Cod Conservation District partners with local, state and federal agencies to help manage, protect and conserve local natural resources.
What does the Cape Cod Conservation District do?
Partnering with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service technical and financial assistance is provided in identifying and solving resource concerns on the local level. A volunteer citizen board governs the District.
In recent years, the District identifies the restoration of
coastal resources and fisheries as its top priority, which it addresses by providing funding and technical assistance to
water quality and shellfishery projects.
