Agricultural Conservation

The Bucks County Conservation District promotes conservation practices in the agricultural community by:

• Assisting farmers with improvement of agriculture, conservation, and nutrient management activities.
• Administering and/or publicizing financial opportunities for conservation planning and implementation.
• Administering and distributing information regarding Nutrient Management Law (Act 38) and Manure Management (Chapter 91).
• Promoting and assisting in educational events pertaining to agricultural conservation.

The agricultural program in Bucks County maintains a working partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). This partnership enhances the conservation of the county’s soil and water resources.
