MACD

The Michigan Association of Conservation Districts is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, established to represent and provide services to Michigan's Conservation Districts. The Association represents its members at the state level by working with legislators, cooperating agencies, and special interest groups whose programs affect the care and management of Michigan's natural resources, especially on private lands.

Created to serve as stewards of natural resources, Michigan’s Conservation Districts are referred to as the “Conservation Gateway”. Conservation Districts provide technical assistance, educational outreach and linkages between land managers and a host of conservation services provided by conservation organizations, state, federal and local governments. Conservation Districts continually scan the needs of their local communities, work in partnership with others involved in conservation to set local priorities, and develop action plans to solve natural resource problems. The delivery of these efforts by Conservation Districts allows citizens to manage their private lands for a cleaner, healthier Michigan.
