Berkshire Conservation District, serving the Berkshires since 1946, offers low-cost opportunities for farmers to rent a no-till seeder drill, promoting sustainable land use and conservation practices. Collaborating with NRCS and MDAR, the district provides advice and support to landowners, farmers, and communities in Berkshire County to improve soil productivity, protect water and air quality, and preserve wildlife habitat.
Seeking additional supervisors and associates, the dynamic team at Berkshire Conservation District guides the path forward with a focus on environmental issues and agriculture, continuing the legacy of conservation districts established to save the soil following the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, the district promotes environmental stewardship and sound use of local resources to ensure a sustainable future for the region.
