Michigan's Conservation Districts
are "unique" local units of State Government, that
utilize state, federal, and private sector resources to assist
people with sustainable use and protection of the natural resources
on their lands.
Conservation Districts continually scan the needs of their
local communities, work with other conservation minded partners to set local priorities, and develop action
plans to solve natural resources problems. The delivery of
these efforts by Conservation Districts allows citizens to
manage their private lands for a cleaner, healthier Michigan.
The Branch County Conservation District is governed by a locally
elected, five-member Board of Directors. The Directors make decisions regarding the District's programs and activities
and hire qualified staff. The staff provide information, technical
assistance, workshops, public education, cost-share opportunities,
as well as affordable tress/shrubs to enhance wildlife and
reforestation.
Since it was organized in 1948, the Branch County Conservation District has provided for the care, use, and conservation of
our county's natural resources by creating an awareness of
conservation issues and by being the leader in providing innovative
assistance. Wildlife habitat development, reforestation projects,
surface and groundwater protection and environmental education
are all a part of our effort to ensure that landowners preserve
their piece of Michigan
for their children and future generations.
