Mill Creek salt marsh is a fertile area for wildlife and shellfish, and an important resource for the town of Sandwich. Stormwater runoff was degrading water quality. In partnership with NRCS, local and state officials designed a project to address these concerns.
USDA has announced that it is investing $330 million nationwide in 85 public-private partnerships to address climate change, improve water quality, combat drought, enhance soil health, support wildlife habitat and protect agricultural viability, including two projects in Massachusetts.
A new interactive story map will take you on a tour of the Bay State, exploring Massachusetts agriculture through the work of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA).
With the help of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Mike Davidian of Davidian Farm in Northborough, Massachusetts, is improving energy efficiency and soil health.
USDA Service Centers are open for business by phone appointment only.
