About Us

The function of a conservation district is to take available technical, financial, and educational resources (whatever their source) and focus or coordinate them to meet the needs of the local land users.

Conservation districts develop and implement programs to protect and conserve soil, water, prime and unique farmland, range-land, woodland, wildlife, energy, and other renewable resources on non federal lands. Districts can also help stabilize local economies and resolve conflicts in land use.

Conservation districts are subdivisions of state government, organized in accordance with the provisions of NRS chapter 548. Each district is governed by a board of five to seven supervisors. Five Board Supervisors are elected by locally registered voters, and one (or two) are appointed by and are the representative(s) for the county within the district. All serve without pay.
