Technical Assistance
The Maryland Department of Agriculture provides technical, staffing and financial assistance to the 24 Soil Conservation Districts in Maryland. The Office of Resource Conservation provides assistance to Soil Conservation Districts in the promotion of soil and water quality programs that support Maryland's Tributary Strategies, Total Maximum Daily Load reductions and federal, state and local regulatory issues of agricultural water pollution.
Soil Conservation Districts are members of Maryland's Conservation Partnership, a coalition of federal, state and local agriculture agencies dedicated to protecting and conserving natural resources and promoting Maryland agriculture by providing a range of educational, financial, technical assistance and regulatory programs.
Contact your local soil conservation district for more information on free services, including conservation planning, design and installation of conservation practices and cost-share assistance for the construction of conservation practices.
