Local, Common Sense Conservation in Wheatland County, Montana

What is a Conservation District?

A conservation district is a group of non-partisan, publicly elected people who dedicate their time to oversee local conservation efforts in their district to protect the multiple use of land, water and wildlife for future generations. Conservation Districts were established by congress in 1935, and the Montana legislature in 1939, to engage in local, hands on, grass-roots conservation to protect our land, preserve our heritage and promote conservative practices of soil and water.
