What We Do

Conservation districts are government subdivisions organized by the local community to provide natural resource management services and implement conservation measures that address local concerns. Our mission is to promote and facilitate the wise use of natural resources on private lands in Schoolcraft County, meeting the needs of both the current and future generations. We specialize in working with non-industrial private landowners.

We plant trees on private and public land. We help farmers and landowners better manage their soil health and save them money. We help forest owners improve the health of their forests. We improve water quality. We make our urban spaces healthier, safer, and more affordable. We help connect urban farmers and underserved populations to state and federal resources. We work with local schools to help educate tomorrow's leaders on conservation, agriculture, and other STEM development. We connect residents with the natural world. We are the local boots on the ground fighting climate change and helping communities become more resilient in the face of a rapidly changing planet.
 
The Schoolcraft Conservation District was formed by Schoolcraft County voter approval in March of 1965. It is currently run by a five-member board of directors who are elected by county residents to four-year terms. As a local entity, we prioritize community engagement; we welcome all questions, comments, and feedback.
