Eagle County Conservation District
Preserving and restoring natural resources by collaborating, educating and cooperating for conservation
SOIL, WATER, AIR, PLANTS & ANIMALS
Who We Are
Established after the Soil Conservation Act of 1935 during the Dust Bowl, Conservation Districts were created in response to extreme drought, high winds and poor irrigation practices.
The Eagle County Conservation District's main purpose is to
- Represent Landowners and Water Rights Holders and connect them to conservation practices and natural resource management,
- Offer technical/financial assistance through programs, education and outreach,
- Advocate as a voice for our land stewards towards policy and legislation.

Eagle Conserves
The Eagle County Conservation District represents our local soil, water, air, plants and animals. All are components in a complex ecological system with energy inputs and outputs. As a community, we have the privilege, and responsibility, as land stewards to find a healthy balance of our resources.
It is our job to provide you, as a resident of Eagle County, the tools necessary for conservation management. Whether these efforts are on rolling pastures or backyard gardens, we want to see your lands and waters enriched and fulfilling for generations to come.
