Conservation District Programs

Wildlife Management

Although wildlife management is not a primary program in many conservation districts, some districts employ staff with professional training in wildlife management. They use their expertise to enhance wildlife habitat through programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, Forest Stewardship, Stormwater Management, Riparian Buffers, Greenways, Chesapeake Bay Program, Dirt and Gravel Roads Program, etc.

Conservation districts also work in partnership with other agencies and organizations such as:

National Association of Conservation Districts
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Pennsylvania Game Commission
PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
Trout Unlimited
Pheasants Forever
Project Wild
Project WET
Pennsylvania Envirothon
National Wild Turkey Federation
Keystone Aquatic Resource Education (K.A.R.E.)
bird clubs
garden clubs

and others, to educate the public and promote wildlife conservation in their communities.
