Northern Rhode Island Conservation District -- Agriculture & Forestry

Northern Rhode Island Conservation District

In Providence County, farmers care about the quality of our water and soil resources. The Conservation District provides assistance to them through the Farm, Forest and Open Space Program, assistance with the Land Link Program, and through our partners at the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Many farmers are eligible for programs provided under the 2002 Farm Bill and farmers are encouraged to contact the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District or Michael Merrill, District Conservationist for USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service.
