Each year since 1970, the PCCD has sponsored a Tree, Shrub and Plant Sale to encourage planting for erosion control, wildlife food and cover, windbreaks, and beautification. The proceeds from our annual sale support the Districts Conservation Programs. The District, in cooperation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service offers free technical assistance to land owners in Plymouth County. Individuals are assisted with conservation plans for land use; in particular, erosion control, forest management, wildlife habitat enhancement and farm resource management. Issues such as water quality, water conservation and waste disposal require great attention. The District helps individuals and communities by sponsoring workshops and conferences for leaders and landowners relating to soil, water and other important natural resources.
The District is managed by a seven member elected volunteer board, headed by Chairman, Kim LaFleur & Supervisors Joe Freitas, Bob Lessard, Dick Ward, Gary Randall, Mike Baptiste and Doug Schneider. We are always looking for a few interested people to serve as supervisors and non-voting associate supervisors. Meetings are the second Wednesday of the month at the West Wareham Office.
