Kent Soil & Water Conservation District KSWCD partners with local, state and federal agencies to help protect the Chesapeake Bay by working with landowners to install best management practices

The Kent Soil & Water Conservation District works closely with local, state and federal government to insure the protection of the Chesapeake Bay. District representatives sit on numerous committees working with the local government to meet TMDL (total maximum daily load) and WIP (watershed implementation) goals set forth by the state of Maryland. We also work with local schools to teach about conservation and mentor the local high school with preparing to compete in the Maryland Envirothon http://mdenvirothon.org/

Deadlines are coming up on November 13th for several of our NRCS programs including EQIP and CSP. If you are interested in a wide range of agricultural conservation practices including soil carbon amendments, precision nutrient management, integrated pest management, forestry practices, and much more, come by our office to talk about opportunities.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Maryland is accepting applications for EQIP, CSP, AMA, and ACEP. While NRCS accepts applications year-round, interested agricultural producers should apply by November 13, 2026, to be considered for FY27 funding.

We had a wonderful Town Hall last night for the Langford Watershed Alliance! We had a full house at St. Paul's Episcopal Church and got to hear from many passionate members of our watershed. It was great working with Center for Environment & Society at Washington College and ShoreRivers to get the voices heard about what projects people are interested in to improve water quality in Langford Creek!

As kids go back to school we look back on our time helping at Turners Creek with the Kent County Parks and Rec middle school explorers summer camp. These awesome tweens grew vegetables, hiked, caught frogs, dug in the soil and finally made a gazpacho (cold soup) from the veggies they harvested. Conservation planner Jenny Lee Freebery helped out the session leaders Wayne, Eileen, and other volunteers and camp staff .

Last week we said good bye and good luck to Kelsie Fronheiser . She worked hard as a conservation planner for almost 5 years. She also helped with environmental education and prescribed burning and was our unofficial office social coordinator. She always went above and beyond to help the farmers she worked with and the students she taught and she always spoiled the office dogs with belly rubs. Best of luck to Kelsie in her new position, and she will be missed here!
