Business Description
A Conservation District is a political subdivision of the State of Vermont, as designated by legislation in 1939, to cooperate with farmers, other landowners, organizations and state and federal agencies to encourage and assist in the conservation of natural resources throughout the State.
The Rutland District was established in 1968 and is one of fourteen in the State. It includes the sixteen towns in the eastern part of Rutland County and Rutland City. The District is partially funded with State funds through allocation from the Natural Resources Conservation Council.
Fundraising/sales, workshops, support from towns and local businesses, and grants secure additional funds.
