Cleveland Co. Conservation District Helping People Reconnect To Our Environment
www.clevelandcountyconservationdistrict.com

The Cleveland County Conservation District was orginally formed in 1939 as a viable solution for the problems that created the Dust Bowl. In the 1930's Oklahoma's top soil blew across a large portion of the United States due to drought, poor soil management and antiquated farming techniques. Over the last 70 years, we have helped local agricultural producers develop better conservation practices b

y providing them with conservation plans, cost share assistance and technical assistance in cooperation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. As the local primary unit of State Government responsible for the conservation of natural resources, we have endeavored to be a leader in environmental education and to raise public awareness of important conservation issues. We provide free programs and workshops concerning such topics as recycling, water conservation, energy efficiency, sustainability as well as agriculture conservation issues. We also provide environmental education to schools through the 23 outdoor classrooms that we helped to build in Cleveland County.
