Michigan's conservation districts in Michigan need your help! State budget cuts are affecting the levels of service we offer to Oakland County residents. We URGE you to contact your state legislators and let them know what Conservation Districts mean to you! Without funding, some districts will be forced to close their doors or cut services. We offer unique programs and services to our residents. Districts are a gateway for homeowners to find help with management of natural resources. Please contact them today! Thank you.
