Why are Conservation Districts important?
Michigan's Conservation Districts are "unique" local units of State Government that utilize state, federal, and private sector resources to solve today's conservation problems. The guiding philosophy of Conservation Districts is that decisions on conservation issues should be made at the LOCAL level, by LOCAL people. The district staff, guided by a publicly elected board of directors, provides technical assistance along with partner agencies to county residents. The Alger Conservation District brings forestry assistance to residents of Alger County; conservation implementation cost-share opportunities for private landowners; a soil erosion and sedimentation control program; technical and educational assistance for water quality concerns; educational seminars; annual tree, shrub, and native plant sales; stream health monitoring; invasive plant management; and much more!
