Welcome to the Merrimack County Conservation District

The Merrimack County Conservation District is a non-regulatory public agency that works in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help land owners and users in Merrimack County manage their soil, water, forest, and other natural resources. We serve residents, town officials, educators, members of non-profit organizations, and others in the 27 towns in Merrimack County.

Mission: The mission of the Merrimack County Conservation District is to conserve the natural resources and cultural heritage of Merrimack County.

We are pleased to announce that we have completed our annual Tree and Shrub Sale. Some of our selection of fruit trees, evergreens, perennials, vegetables, rain barrels, composters and more are still available. Please contact our office to find out what is still for sale!

Local Food Guide

A Call for Artwork!

Every year the Merrimack County Conservation District produces a Local Food Guide for residents to find information about locally grown foods. This also gives farmers a place to advertise their products. This year the cover of the guide will be determined by a contest. All high school students who live in Merrimack County or attend a high school in Merrimack County are eligible to participate. The students can draw, paint or use any medium which can be effectively reproduced on to a newspaper. Students must be able to explain how their design relates to local food.
