LCNRCD supports the working landscape and advocates for a farm and forest lands-based economy of the Lamoille River Watershed through the Lamoille Valley Farm and Forest Initiative (LVFFI). The initiative is comprised of a series of projects that support the working landscape, be it farming or forestry or their secondary markets. For more information, access LVFFI.
Lamoille River Watershed Farm & Forest Directory
This is an amazing resource if you are looking to “buy local” when it comes to agricultural and forestry products available here in the Lamoille watershed. The directory is a project of the Lamoille Valley Farm & Forest Initiative (LVFFI) and is supported by the Sustainable Future Fund, the WaterWheel Foundation, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and the Northern Vermont RC&D.

Recognizing the need for a group that can lead watershed-wide implementation efforts, organizations that were involved in the Lamoille Watershed basin planning process created the Lamoille Watershed Initiative. For more information, access Our Watershed.

OUR MISSION
The Lamoille County Natural Resources Conservation District was established 1945 in response to the degradation of natural resources vital to the agricultural livelihood of residents in Lamoille County.
Working in Partnership with the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Conservation District works:
To maintain and improve our natural resources
To aid and educate our fellow citizens to
appreciate and adjust to the changes taking place in our natural resource system.
To be a local voice for conservation, preservation and stewardship of all natural resources and work in conjunction with other agencies (private and public) at the grassroots level.
