Colorado State Conservation Board
Colorado’s 74 Conservation Districts have represented private landowners’ interests in conservation planning and practices since 1937. Conservation Districts are local governments and fall under the statutory guidance of the Colorado State Conservation Board (CSCB).
CSCB is comprised of Conservation District representatives from Colorado’s watersheds and provides guidance to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for:
- Financial Support: Disbursing state grant funds and direct assistance to Conservation Districts.
- Capacity Building: Developing training tools related to long and short-term planning, budgeting, and local governance laws.
- Oversight: Serving as a board of appeals for landowners challenging Conservation District activities.
- Program Facilitation: Supporting local conservation programs focused on improving soil health, water quality and conservation, wildlife habitat, forest health, plant communities, and energy conservation.
