What is the Oakland Conservation District and
what does it do?
We are a
federally mandated, state supported local unit of government, designed
to provide natural resource information and technical assistance to
Oakland County residents, municipalities and governments.
We are a local organization here to support
YOU. If you need information about soil, water, or other natural
resources, we can help. You may be familiar with our fundraisers, like
our tree sales and native plant sales. These sales allow us to partner
with other organizations as well as create our own natural resource
projects. Projects include backyard wildlife certification,
lakescaping, organic farming, technical assistance for businesses, local
units of government and homeowners.
We
love
volunteers and if you'd like to help at our events, email us and we'll
add your name to the list, or use the Feedback form.
Our
organization is guided by a public-elected 5 member Board of Directors.
Most serve three year terms. If you want to be more involved, come to
one of our Board meetings, held on the fourth Wednesday of every month
at our office in Davisburg. Meetings start at 7:15 PM and end at 9:00
pm.
