Attention Carroll County!
Agriculture plays a role in the sustainability and economic strength of our community. Local input is essential in shaping conservation efforts that truly reflect our region’s needs. That’s why ag producers, landowners, and community members are encouraged to attend the upcoming Local Working Group (LWG) meeting on June 1 at 9am, to be held at the Campbell County Extension Office.
This meeting offers a valuable opportunity to discuss local natural resource concerns, identify, conservation priorities, and provide input on programs and funding can best serve our county. Whether you are directly involved in agriculture, are in a position to make a difference with education or legislation, or simply have an interest in land stewardship, your voice matters!
Participation in this process ensures that decisions are informed by those who know the land best, our local community.
For additional meeting details please contact us at 502-732-6098 x3391 or [email protected].
To RSVP for the meeting please contact Campbell Co. Conservation District at 859-635-9587 or [email protected]

Gallatin County Conservation District and Nucor Steel Gallatin were proud to host the 3rd Annual Earth Day Celebration at the Glencoe Fairgrounds!

A huge thank you to our event coordinators - Patrick Underwood, Soil Conservation Technician, and Chasity O'Day of Nucor Steel Gallatin for organizing such a successful day.

Our 4th graders spent the day rotating through seven hands-on learning stations led by amazing conservation educators and industry partners. Partner organizations included University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, Gallatin County Cooperative Extension Service, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, KDFWR - Bluegrass Region, Kentucky Division of Forestry, Gallatin County FFA, Nucor Steel Gallatin, Nalco an Ecolab company, Gallatin County Fiscal Court-Kentucky and many dedicated volunteers.

Each student even took home a tree to plant! We're so proud of how respectful, curious, and well-behaved our 4th graders were.
