SOUTH PARIS – The Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service are holding a meeting of the Oxford County USDA Local Working Group at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Oxford County office, 9 Olson Road.
The public is invited to attend the meeting, which will provide recommendations for the 2024 Environmental Quality Incentives Program of the USDA–NRCS. The meeting will help identify local natural resource priorities and define criteria for funding conservation activities. Topics of discussion in Oxford County will include agricultural waste, forestry, pastureland, cropland, high tunnels and wildlife.
Other issues and areas of concern can be discussed as well, and a list will be compiled of priorities recognized by this group. In addition to providing feedback, participants will have the opportunity to learn about other programs and incentives available to them.
