Our mission is to provide leadership in the promotion and protection of our county's soil, water, and other natural resources through education and technical assistance.

Michigan’s Conservation Districts are special-purpose local units of state government that utilize state, federal and private sector resources to solve today’s conservation issues. Conservation Districts provide linkages between land managers and a host of conservation service providers.
