Our Mission: To promote sustainable agriculture and communities while protecting and wisely using the natural resources of Indiana County.

In 1945, Pennsylvania state legislators recognized the need to support grass-roots conservation efforts. As a result, the Conservation District Law  was passed, and county conservation districts were created. Today there is a conservation district established in every Pennsylvania county except Philadelphia.

Conservation districts implement a variety of programs, and provide assistance for a range of issues unique to their county, such as:

    * Abandoned Mines
    * Agricultural Land Preservation
    * Chesapeake Bay Program
    * Dirt & Gravel Roads Program
    * Environmental Education
    * Erosion & Sedimentation Pollution Control
    * Floodplain Management
    * Forest Management
    * Nutrient Management Program
    * Stormwater Management
    * Waterway Protection
    * West Nile Virus Surveillance Program
    * Wildlife Management

Each Conservation District is led by a Board of Directors made up of local people from all walks of life. These volunteers study county natural resource issues and make decisions which enhance and protect the local community.
