WHO WE ARE
Picture
Why are Conservation Districts important? 

Michigan's Conservation Districts are local units of State Government that utilize state, federal, and private sector resources to solve today's conservation problems. The guiding philosophy of Conservation Districts is that decisions on conservation issues should be made at the LOCAL level, by LOCAL people. The District staff, guided by a publicly elected board of directors, provides technical assistance along with partner agencies to county residents. The Marquette County Conservation District brings forestry assistance to residents of Marquette County; conservation implementation cost-share opportunities for private landowners; technical and educational assistance for water quality concerns; educational seminars; annual tree, shrub, and native plant sales; stream health monitoring; invasive plant management and much more! 

These services are in jeopardy as a state budget cut in 2008 left Michigan Conservation Districts with no funding other than what they can raise for themselves. Raising these funds include the annual tree sale, applying for grant funds, as well as contributions from local citizens. Michigan Conservation Districts are a vital part of a healthy local environment and economy. If you feel inclined, please call or write to your local representatives to show your support of Michigan Conservation Districts and help to restore the much-needed funding that they've lost.
