| The District provides advisory services to residents and municipalities on such matters as soil testing, recreational and farm fields, and erosion control measures at construction sites and on shore frontage. We also provide topographical maps, soils information, sand & gravel aquifer maps, flood insurance maps, aerial photos and much more. We are available for presentations to schools and civic groups by request. The District coordinates an annual tree & shrub sale in the spring.
