"Our mission is to assist with land use and management

through education, community projects, and services."

Michigan's 79 Conservation Districts work to preserve natural resources through education, research, and direct remediation of key areas. Conservation Districts are supported by state, federal, and private grants, and through their own fundraising efforts - especially the annual tree sale. Districts are directed by locally elected boards made up of people committed to conserving our renewable natural resources.
