Colorado’s Conservation Districts represent private landowners’ interests in conservation planning and practices. They have led this charge since they were created by the Colorado State Legislature in 1937. While Conservation Districts are technically considered “local governments”, they fall under the statutory guidance of the State.
The State Conservation Board is comprised of Conservation District representatives from Colorado’s 10 watersheds and provides guidance to the Department of Agriculture for:
Helps facilitate local conservation programs that improve:
- Disperses state grant funds and direct assistance to the Conservation Districts
- Develops training tools for long and short term planning, budgeting, and laws pertaining to local governance
- Performs as a board of appeals for landowners appealing Conservation District activities
- Soil Health
- Water Quality
- Water Conservation
- Wildlife Habitat
- Forest Health
- Plant Communities
- Energy Conservation
I invite you to visit your local Conservation District to learn about cooperative programs in conservation. There’s a world of opportunity to make a difference for the land, today, and for future generations who will also need to make a living from it.
