A Conservation District is a local unit within the state government organized by the people within the District boundaries under provisions of the Soil Conservation District Law, Act 297 of Public Acts of 1937, as amended. As such, it is a locally controlled resource management agency, created by concerned landowners and administered by publicly elected boards of directors. The Newaygo Conservation District has five (5) Directors that are elected by the constituents of Newaygo County, must possess a valid Michigan ID and are over the age of 18 years of age. Directors make all decisions regarding the District's programs and activities. The directors hire qualified staff to conduct and carry out the programs and activities that they have approved. These programs provide technical help, information, and awareness, to assist individuals in the District to properly manage their natural resources. |
