Conservation districts can provide technical assistance and resources to farmers, landowners, and communities, and help them adopt practices that prevent soil erosion, manage water quality, and enhance biodiversity, and much more! By collaborating with various stakeholders, districts contribute to the preservation of ecosystems, the prevention of natural disasters, and the overall improvement of the state's environmental resilience!
