ACCD works with municipalities and the construction industry to keep soil where it belongs, on the land and out of Pennsylvania’s streams.
Test your soil for lead by the Allegheny County Conservation District. Contaminants are common in urban soil and can be hazardous to health when ingested or inhaled. Soil testing is the first step to reduce your risk of exposure.
ACCD will host a field day for agricultural producers with Natural Resource Conservation Service and Penn State Extension to showcase best management practices and pasture management implemented at Jersey Settlement Farm in Monongahela, Pennsylvania.
ACCD completes on-the-ground work to protect soil and water. These efforts deliver critical environmental and community benefits, such as dedicated future farmland, safer low-volume roads, increased fish habitat and more.
