If you have questions about your property, the Conservation District is a great place to start. Clients can learn useful information and get free, non-regulatory assistance to implementing best management practices. District Resource Technicians and Specialists assist landowners in developing conservation plans. Together, the client and District staff will explore management challenges and objectives as well as possible impacts on soils, surface and groundwater and other natural resources. For each challenge or concern, alternative management practices are suggested with the goals of the client in mind. The decision to implement these alternatives, more commonly known as Best Management Practices (BMPs) rests solely on the landowner. In certain cases, District staff can also assist the landowner with exploring options of financial assistance for the implementation of BMPs.
