Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to significantly reduce soil erosion and polluted runoff sources to Little Sebago Lake, foster long-term stewardship, and, ultimately, improve water quality.

This project offers free technical assistance to landowners, towns,  and private road associations in order to address erosion problems.  In addition, a youth conservation corps (YCC) has been established to help install erosion controls.  Financial assistance is also available to help cover the cost of improvements.
