ABOUT THE DISTRICT
Berrien County Conservation District is a local unit of government and a political subdivision of the State of Michigan. The District's authorities, powers, and structure are contained in Michigan Conservation District Law. Berrien Conservation District comprises all of Berrien County and was formed in 2006 with the merging of the Galien River and St. Joseph River Conservaton Districts that were established in the 1940's. Our goal is to conserve and protect land, air, water, and wildlife today for future generations.
We coordinate technical, financial, and educational resources to meet the needs of residents, land managers, and farmers. We have an historical relationship with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The NRCS develops and maintains current best management practices and standards, which the District utilizes in the implementation of our mission. In cooperation with community groups, local, state, and federal agencies, we promote stewardship of soil, water, and other natural resources on public and private lands.
