Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District (ERICD) will host the Local Work Group Meeting for Bristol and Newport Counties. These meetings are a valuable part of the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) planning process, providing an opportunity for local land managers to be part of a collaborative effort to improve natural resources within your county. This meeting is free and open to the public. We want to see you there and hear from you on how we can continue to improve the programs we help facilitate through the NRCS.
