Locally Led Conservation Surveys

Fill out your locally led conservation survey!

Natural Resources Conservation Districts (NRCDs) have annual surveys for residents and land stewards to share their concerns and priorities for future conservation projects. The feedback collected will be taken into account to help shape future conservation funding decisions to prioritize local needs.

These surveys helped Districts secure federal USDA NRCS funding for identified priority natural resource concerns in Conservation Districts through Local Fund Pools. In FY 2026, $4.4 million was secured across Vermont through these local fund pools.
