Conservation districts (CDs) work locally to fulfill the state’s policy to conserve soil, water, and other natural resources of the state. The Madison Conservation District (MCD) covers all areas within voting precincts 15 and 20. A map of all Montana Conservation District regions is available online. The MCD receives funding from a county mill levy, and is guided by a board of directors with a shared concern for the health of the land and the region’s resources.

Activities

Natural Streambed and Land Preservation Act: (75-7-101 et seq. MCA)- Any private individual or corporation that proposes to work in or near perennial streams must first apply for a permit from a conservation district.
