Services

The Hancock County Soil and Water District offers a variety of technical services aimed at helping landowners and community members better understand and manage their resources. 

As a service to the community, we offer general technical advice and information online and over the phone at no cost. 

Beyond this initial level of remote assistance, we offer a 1 hour on-site visit anywhere in Hancock County for $25. 

Further technical assistance,  as described below, is available at a rate of $65/hour. 

For further information, or to request an initial site visit please contact us at (207) 667-8663 or hcswcdinfo@hancockcountyswcd.org.
