Conservation districts are local units of government established under state law to carry out natural resource management programs at the local level. Districts

work with millions of cooperating landowners and operators to help them manage and protect land and water resources on private and public lands in the United States. Partnering with the NRCS, the GCCD works to:
Implement farm, ranch and forestland conservation practices to protect soil productivity, water quality and quantity, air quality and wildlife habitat;
Conserve and restore wetlands, which purify water and provide habitat for birds, fish and other animals;
Protect groundwater resources;
Assist communities and homeowners in planting trees and other land cover to hold soil in place, clean the air, provide cover for wildlife, and beautify neighborhoods;
Help developers control soil erosion and protect water and air quality during construction; and
Reach out to communities and schools to teach the value of natural resources and encourage conservation efforts.
