Under Construction

The CD office is co-located with the USDA NRCS, FSA and Rural Development offices and the aged building that we're all housed in is undergoing some much needed, long overdue renovations.   This week, they are re-flooring and hopefully painting the CD office, so the phones are all unplugged and the internet is down.  Therefore, staff are all working off-site. If you need to reach any of us, you may do so via email:  chris@lewisandclarkcd.org, connor@lewisandlcarkcd.org or jramirezbswc@gmail.com. Thanks and have a nice week!

New Landowner Resource Concern Survey

As part of our annual planning operations, the Conservation District has a new survey for landowners to report natural resource concerns to us.   Residents of Lewis and Clark County are asked to take this short survey, giving feedback on new concerns about our natural resources in the county or ongoing concerns.   The Conservation District will utilize the feedback we receive as we look at program development, budgeting,  collaboration with other partner organizations such as the NRCS, and in our planning revisions for our long-range-plan. Please take just a minute or so to fill this out for us!
