Who We Are

The Oakland Conservation District is a local unit of state government serving Oakland County residents. We provide information, education, and technical assistance to help people care for their land, water, and natural resources.
We are part of Michigan’s statewide conservation district system, operating under the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, with a federal mandate to promote the wise use of soil and water resources. Our work is guided by a locally elected board and focused on local conservation needs.
