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.
