Conservation Districts

Conservation districts — sometimes referred to as “CDs” — engage people with voluntary actions that keep our air, water, soil, habitats, and farmland healthy for all.
CDs are community-based hubs of natural resource expertise and funding. They’re staffed and led by local people who understand the needs of landscapes and the fellow community members they serve.
