Pennsylvania first authorized the establishment of conservation districts in 1945 under Act 217.  Today, conservation districts continue the "cooperative" approach in dealing with natural resource problems.  Districts are experts at channeling resources from government agencies, conservation groups, and civic organizations and putting those resources into action at the local level.  The two closest partner agencies in these efforts are the DEP Bureau of Watershed Management and the U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service).Programs vary widely throughout Conservation Districts in Pennsylvania since each district develops its own programs to best suit the environmental needs of the county.  Common concerns and activities that our district is involved with are:  Erosion and Sedimentation Control, Environmental, Wetlands Protection, Forest Resource Management, Rural and Residential Development, Mine Land Reclamation, and other Environmental Concerns.
