Stevens County Conservation District

Local Conservation. Lasting Benefits.

Since 1949, the Stevens County Conservation District has helped local landowners, agricultural producers, educators, and families protect the natural resources of our county.

Our work supports:

• Healthier and more productive soils

About Conservation Districts

Conservation districts began during the 1930s in response to severe soil erosion and the devastating dust storms of the Dust Bowl. Congress passed the Soil Conservation Act in 1935, and Kansas established its Conservation District Law in 1937.

Today, Kansas has 105 conservation districts—one in every county. Each district is locally led and works with residents to address the natural-resource concerns that matter most to its community. Learn more about Kansas conservation districts.
