Natural resources, such as soil, water, air, plants, and animals, can be adversely affected by the way we use our land. Agricultural operations can be major contributors of non-point source pollution if not managed properly. Through the process of Conservation Planning and the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP’s); we assist our clients in increasing farm production and pleasant aesthetics while reducing the impacts of farm activities on our shared natural resources. Clients can learn useful information and obtain assistance on implementing BMP’s including; gutter and downspout installation, cross fencing, pasture renovation, stream fencing, stream side and wetland planting for wildlife habitat and erosion control, creating sacrifice areas and more.

The district provides free technical assistance for residents of Pacific County. Our qualified resource specialists are here to assist landowners with all types of questions on land management, crop and livestock advice, forestry, soils, shorelines, wetlands, prairie, wildlife habitat, streams and lakes, erosion, native plants, riparian restoration, soil testing and much more.

Financial assistance is available at times depending on what the district has available.
