Eagle County Conservation District
Preserving and restoring natural resources by collaborating, educating and cooperating for conservation
SOIL, WATER, AIR, PLANTS & ANIMALS
Who We Are
Conservation Districts emerged in 1935 after the extreme drought and high winds of the Dust Bowl era that were compounded by poor tillage and irrigation practices.
The Eagle County Conservation District's was established 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 legislatively and policy-wise for our land stewards.

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, the residents of Eagle County, with the tools needed for conservation management. Whether these efforts are on rolling pastures or backyard gardens, we will help you to create healthy land and water for future generations.
