We’re here to help! Our staff will work with you to achieve win-win solutions for you and your land and natural resources. Our assistance is free and ranges from one-time consultations to comprehensive conservation planning for all property types, from farms, to forests, and everything in between.

Farm Stewardship:
Jefferson County Conservation District can offer you ideas and incentives for creating a barnyard, pasture and cropland that effectively manages mud, weeds and manure.

Forest Stewardship:
Do you need to write or update a forest management plan for your forested property? This template may be helpful as you update your personal management plan, and you may become simultaneously eligible for a variety of programs.

Habitat Enhancement:
We work with our partners in conservation to offer technical and, in some cases, financial assistance to help you develop habitat enhancement projects on your property, helping you become the best land steward you can.

Backyard Conservation:
The Natural Landscaping Course will be offered again this spring. The interactive three-class, two-field trip course emphasizes native plants and sustainable landscape design and maintenance practices.

Native plant sales are available annually.
Water quality monitoring is also available in select watersheds.
