Mission Statement
The Berrien Conservation District strives to improve the quality of life in Berrien County by conserving our precious resources. We are focused on building a sustainable, knowledgeable and future-orientated community.
Established in 1946 as a local unit of government to protect the environment and Michigan's natural resources, we are here to help you start conservation planning today. We prioritize resources toward soil and water conservation, invasive species education, improving production agriculture, and the long-term viability of Berrien County's resources.
We are board-driven and monthly board meetings occur on the second Monday of each month at 12pm; exceptions occur when holidays land on a Monday. The public is welcome to attend the board meetings.
