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.
