Platte County Resource District

District programs address concerns associated with soil and water quality and conservation. Among the PCRD cost-share programs are ones to improve rangelands and wildlife habitat, and encourage the planting of trees and shrubs. The latter program offers a variety of seedling trees and shrubs, including fruits and berries suitable for the local environment. District personnel assist with planning, site preparation, planting, and other aspects to ensure a successful project, taking into account the mature size of trees/shrubs and proper spacing.

PRCD has a variety of other programs, among them water testing and youth education, including Ag in the Classroom, and it also has no-till drills for rent.
