About Us

Two yellow harvesters operate in a field of tall, dry crops, creating dust as they work under an overcast sky.

Our Mission

At Deer Trail and East Adams Conservation Districts we aim to provide awareness of local and state natural resource concerns. We make educational, technical, and financial assistance available to our district producers and area land owners so they can practice conservation of soil, water, and related natural resources and be good stewards of the land.

What is a Conservation District?

Conservation districts coordinate assistance from all available sources to develop locally-driven solutions to natural resources concerns. They manage and protect land and water resources in U.S. states and insular areas. Each district is governed by a board of elected supervisors who serve as volunteers without pay. The districts have many working partners, including the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, and Adams County Extension. Deer Trail Conservation District and East Adams Conservation District operate independently but work together on projects and programs.
