What is the state soil conservation plan in New Hampshire? Who is in charge of following through with these guidelines and plans? Who does this legislation impact? And what even is a conservation district? These are some of the questions that the team of student science liaisons had when beginning to research HB199 and soil conservation as a whole in the state of New Hampshire. Luckily, Carl Majewski, Cheshire County Extension specialist, and Amanda Littleton from Cheshire County Conservation District were just the right people to ask! Join us as we learn all about the work being done in the state of New Hampshire to protect soil health, and the roles of the state, the legislation, and private landowners and businesses in this mission to protect our soil.
