Welcome to the
Hillsdale Conservation District
As a local, special purpose unit of government, the Conservation District is governed by a locally elected five-member Board of Directors. The guiding philosophy of the Michigan Conservation Districts is that local people should make decisions on conservation issues at the local level, with technical assistance provided by government. The Conservation District
is the local provider of natural resource management services that help our citizens conserve their lands and our environment for a cleaner, healthier, economically stronger Michigan.
We assist in natural resource management for improved water quality, reduced soil erosion, farmland preservation, wetland preservation, wildlife habitat, clean air, energy conservation, and land beautification.
