Welcome to the Hillsdale Conservation District

    Our Mission 

      The District was organized by the farmers of Hillsdale County for the purpose of promoting and directing a good soil and water conservation program on all the land in Hillsdale County.

 

      The program of the District includes soil and water conservation problems and recommended improvements in land use management and water conservation and development in order to conserve, develop, and improve the natural resources of the District.

 

      The residents of this county organized this District in order to address the concerns and problems through an action program in a cooperative manner. The District enlists the assistance of local, state, and/or national agencies in order to accomplish it's objectives.

 

We trust that you will find wealth of information within these pages.

The Hillsdale CD and partners will be doing some streambank restoration and beautification projects down at the Hillsdale County fairgrounds in the near future. There are three specific sites that are targeted and once the sites are repaired sediment loading and nutrient loading will be greatly reduced to the St. Joseph River via the Mill Pond.
