It's that time of year again...
If you own land that is being
used for agriculture
make sure to talk to your town assessor about getting an
agricultural assessment completed. If qualified, that could mean
saving money on your property taxes. Call our office today for more
information. Our office completes the Soil Group Worksheets that
your town assessor uses in the agricultural tax break. More details
on our
Programs page.

Be on the lookout for Japanese
Knotweed!
Niagara County Soil and Water Conservation District is looking to apply for
funding to control and eradicate a highly invasive plant within the
Eighteenmile Creek Watershed. Japanese knotweed resembles bamboo, and can
reach 10-15 feet tall. It is adapted to a wide variety of soil types and pH
levels, and can be found growing along riverbanks, wetlands, disturbed
areas, roadsides, woodlands and grasslands. If you suspect you have Japanese
knotweed on your property, please call our office at 716-434-4949 Ext. 4.
