A Helping Hand for Healthy Lands

Promoting and protecting land through conservation practices 

Resources Protected

Agricultural Land

Our mission to protect and enhance the natural resources of Kent County. We accomplish this with voluntary programs available for private landowners in rural and urban areas, such as: habitat restoration assistance, Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assistance (MAEAP) verification, USDA Farm Bill Programs (EQIP, CSP, CRP, etc.), and technical assistance to all landowners.

Watersheds

The Conservation District works with local

watershed partners to address water quality and aquatic habitat concerns, such as streambank and field erosion, manure or nutrient runoff, or groundwater contamination, to promote clean and healthy waterways for our community. These coordinated efforts ensure that our watershed continues to support safe and reliable water sources, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities. 

Public and Private Land Restoration
