AUGUSTA — The Kennebec-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, in cooperation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service field office in Augusta, will host a virtual meeting of the Kennebec-Lincoln Local Working Group in January.
Taking into account local resource concerns, the group makes recommendations to NRCS on how to spend fiscal year 2021 USDA Farm Bill money for conservation practices on private land. This year’s meeting will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, Jan. 13, on Zoom.
The meetings are of interest to agricultural producers, foresters, loggers and private woodland owners; members of environmental or watershed organizations or land trusts; those knowledgeable in soil, water, plant, wetland or wildlife sciences; or are familiar with agricultural and natural resource concerns. The meeting will help identify and prioritize local conservation concerns and recommend how local money for USDA Environmental Quality Incentive Programs will be distributed by NRCS to alleviate problems.
To attend the meeting, Dale Finseth at 207-621-9000, dfinseth@kcswcd.org. comments may also be sent by those who can’t attend.
There will also be a Knox-Waldo county meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12. For information on the meetings, visit www.knox-lincoln.org.local-working.
