Cape Atlantic Soil Conservation District

Cape Atlantic Soil Conservation District is a local government entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Mays Landing, New Jersey, with a primary focus on conservation and technical assistance related to soil, water, and natural resource management. As a U.S. local government organization, the district plays a critical role in supporting sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation efforts within New Jersey. The organization is specifically registered to receive federal grant awards and has maintained an active SAM.gov registration since March 2013, with the current registration valid through January 14, 2026.

The district has received significant federal grant awards primarily from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Soil and Water Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 10.902). Two notable prime grant awards include a $662,278.52 cooperative agreement starting July 29, 2024, and a $449,723.69 cooperative agreement from July 1, 2023, both designed to provide technical assistance to NRCS offices across New Jersey. Additionally, the district has secured sub-grant awards from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation focused on forest management, specifically aimed at improving forest health and resiliency on private non-industrial forestlands. These grants involve providing technical support to conservation planners and landowners, increasing technical capacity in forest inventory methods, rural and urban forest planning, and forest practice implementation. The district's work consistently demonstrates a commitment to conservation technical assistance, natural resource management, and supporting local environmental sustainability efforts.
