Welcome to Eastern Connecticut Conservation District

The Eastern Connecticut Conservation District (ECCD) is a local not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping the towns and citizens of Eastern Connecticut with their conservation needs. The creation of the ECCD is a result of the reorganization of Connecticut’s eight county based soil and water Conservation Districts into five regional watershed areas: Northwest, Southwest, North Central, Connecticut River Coastal, and Eastern.

The service area of the ECCD encompasses thirty-six municipalities covering Windham and New London counties and part of Tolland County. Our service area includes the towns of:

Andover, Ashford, Bozrah, Brooklyn, Canterbury, Chaplin, Columbia, East Lyme, Eastford, Franklin, Griswold, Groton, Hampton, Killingly, Lebanon, Ledyard, Lisbon, Mansfield, Montville, New London, North Stonington, Norwich, Plainfield, Pomfret, Preston, Scotland, Sprague, Sterling, Stonington, Thompson, Union, Voluntown, Waterford, Windham and Woodstock.

Announcements

Rain Garden Workshop

Get ready to Celebrate Earth Day 40! On March 1, 2010 the Eastern Connecticut Conservation District will be co-presenting a special workshop on rain gardens with Susan Munger of the UCONN Extension System New London County Master Gardener Program. A slide show demonstrating the step by step process of planning and installing a rain garden will be followed by a presentation on native plants suitable for rain garden designs. This workshop will begin at 7 PM at the main building at Uncas on the Thames located at 401 West Thames Street, Norwich, CT 06360.

2010 ECCD Plant Sale

ECCD will be offering a variety of plants and shrubs for sale this spring. Plants should be pre-ordered using a downloadable order form and then picked up at either the Norwichtown Mall on April 16 or 17 or at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds on April 23 or 24. Soil test kits may also be ordered. A limited supply of extra plants will be available at each location for those that missed the March 20 ordering deadline. Many native plant types are available. Those suitable for planting in a rain garden are identified. Plant descriptions and an order form can be downloaded for your convenience. You may also order barley straw at this time.

We are in the process of updating this page on barley straw. For a current barley straw fact sheet and ordering information, click here.
