Berks County Conservation District is a local environmental services organization focused on watershed health and natural resource stewardship in Berks County, Pennsylvania. It works with public agencies, landowners, and conservation partners to protect streams, manage flood risk, and restore streambanks. Through collaborations with state and regional groups, the district supports efforts to improve water quality within the Chesapeake Bay watershed and advance local conservation goals. The district's activities include on-the-ground restoration projects and dam-removal efforts on the Cacoosing Creek in partnership with other conservation organizations. Based in Berks County, Pennsylvania, the organization operates as a small, locally focused entity within the environmental services sector. It has a history of collaborative work, such as the 2022 effort in which American Rivers joined with Berks Nature, Trout Unlimited, the district, and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to remove the Paper Mill Dam on the Cacoosing Creek (also known as Van Reeds Mill Dam).
