As of June 2000, the District has assisted in writing conservation plans on nearly 1,613 acres of cropland, pastureland, hayland, and woodland. The District has provided technical assistance to nearly 190 landowners, which has resulted in the installation of more than 225 conservation practices that meet NRCS Technical Guide Standards. The conservation practices have included waste management systems, conservation tillage, cover and green manure crops, and pasture and hayland management, thereby reducing erosion and benefiting wtaer quality in the Cape Fear and Lumber River Basins. Conservation buffers also have been planned on 850 acres in the county.
All meetings are open to the public.
