Clinton County Conservation District

The Clinton County Conservation District provides quality leadership, education, and service for the stewardship and conservation of the county’s natural resources.

The Clinton County Conservation District was organized at the request of county citizens who recognized the importance of soil and water conservation, land use planning, and flood prevention. The District was officially declared by the Clinton County Board of Commissioners on December 19, 1946.
