Mission
"Protecting Soil and Water for Generations"
In order to meet our mission, we work closely with the community, identifying resource needs then partnering with others who have similar goals to address those needs.
By implementing technologies and practices that are environmentally friendly we can ensure long term use of our precious natural resources.
All of our programming is voluntary and non-regulatory. Conservation District staff, technicians, and volunteers work hand-in-hand with local, state and federal organizations to roll out programming that directly assists and improves environmental quality and natural resource management in our communities.
