The Northern Rhode Island Conservation District works in partnership with private land owners, farmers, municipalities, state and federal agencies, as well as non-governmental agencies. NRICD is not a regulatory or enforcement agency, but rather provides assistance to those who desire to work as a team to face issues -- watershed by watershed.
Please join us for the 36th Annual RIFCO Meeting and Dinner this November 19th. There will be awards, a cash bar, great food, music, and your outstanding community members! Register at the link below by November 12 to guarantee your spot.
