The purpose of this chapter is to authorize the natural resources conservation districts in Vermont to form supervisory unions for administrative purposes while still retaining their individual identities, duties, and powers as authorized under sections 701-740 of this title. The supervisory unions will help carry out a broadened program of conservation, development, and use of the natural resources and the broadened program will aid cooperation with local and State agencies, and provide coordination through proper channels with federal agencies.
