CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IN KANSAS
Conservation Districts are part of a nationwide grass roots organization made up of people that collectively promote the wise management of our natural resources for sustained use. There are 105 Conservation Districts across Kansas, one in each county in Kansas. Each district is led by a board of five supervisors that are locally elected. These supervisors are not paid for their service on the board.

To contact a Conservation District in Kansas, go to the Kansas Dept. of Agriculture, Division of Conservation web site for up to date information.

Each conservation district has developed programs aimed to address priority concerns for their county. For example, If you own land in Kansas, it is best to contact the district in the county where the land is. This will insure you the best in assistance and knowledge of local conditions.
