Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts

Nonprofit organization that represents Wyoming’s 34 conservation districts and their 170 elected board members. 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 landowners, counties, municipalities, and community organizations to conserve land and water resources on private and public lands in the state. Among the many programs on the district level are ones tied to agriculture, food production, and specialty crops, including soil health and gardening workshops, ag expos, and seedling tree and shrub sales, including fruit and berry varieties suitable for local environments across the state (see county sections for individual district listings).

WACD represents Wyoming’s 34 conservation districts. Programs are focused on conserving land and water resources on private and public lands. Districts host a variety of workshops. This event in Sheridan County focused on healthy soils. The Facebook posts reads: “One of the biggest takeaways is to recognize there is an entire ‘herd’ of microbes living beneath our feet that keep the ecosystem moving.”
