Covid-19 Response:

Clark Conservation District is committed to doing our part for our community and the wellness of our employees, board of supervisors, and volunteers. The policy we adhere to includes the following:

Office Hours & Public Access
The Clark Conservation District office is open to the public on Wednesday and Thursday from 10 am-3 pm. The office is open by appointment only Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Email and phone are the best way to reach staff during this time. Please note that we do receive calls at our office numbers, even while working remotely.

If you schedule an appointment to meet with staff or to reserve our farm equipment, you will be held to the following protocol:

• Community members are encouraged but not required to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. If a member of the public displays symptoms of COVID-19 in our office, we will ask that they leave and return when they are symptom-free. If the symptoms are attributed to a known issue that is not COVID-19 and not contagious (e.g., allergies, asthma, etc.), they must wear a well-fitting mask that covers the nose and mouth at all times.

Public Events & Meetings
Indoor and outdoor events, such as workshops and tours may occur. Masks will not be required regardless of vaccination status. The number of participants at events will be kept reasonable according to the space.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition through these changes. We look forward to continuing to serve you and contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community.

Overview:

Conservation Districts are the necessary connection between landowners and the agencies that provide technical and financial assistance as well as the necessary compliance programs that will solve our natural resource problems.  Working with local landowners, conservation districts can coordinate the mixture of technical assistance and available cost sharing as well as information and education necessary to encourage good stewardship of our environment.

Clark Conservation District (CCD) was established in 1942 and is a legal sub-division of state government that administers programs to conserve natural resources.  We are a non-regulatory agency that was created to bridge the gap between local landowners and state and federal government. 

The Clark Conservation District promotes conservation through Best Management Practices (BMPs).
