VISION STATEMENT

The Converse County Conservation District will strive to achieve a better understanding of the conservation ethic.  To the best of our ability, we will try to recognize our community’s natural resource needs.  We will work to realize a balance between use and protection of these same natural resources, for the people’s health, safety, and welfare.

HISTORY

There were three conservation districts originally formed in Converse County. In 1947, both the  LaPrele District and the Glenrock District were formed.  These two districts consolidated in 1963. The third district, the Upper Cheyenne River District was formed in 1951. Then in 1979, one district was formed and became the Converse County Conservation District (see map) , as it is known today.

GOVERNANCE and FUNDING

The Converse County Conservation District is a locally led effort overseen by a locally elected board of five.  Each supervisor is elected in the general election and serves a four year term on a voluntary basis.  The board meets the third Thursday of each month, unless otherwise publicized.  Th
