Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District (ERICD)

The Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District (ERICD) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and improving environmentally-friendly practices that protect natural resources like soil, water, and air. They achieve this through community outreach, education, and providing financial assistance for natural resource concerns.
