WHAT IS A CONSERVATION DISTRICT?
As a result of the disasterous Dust Bowl of the 1930's, President Franklin D. Roosevelt requested all states pass legislation establishing soil conservation districts to assist Federal efforts in protecting soil from erosion problems. The Scott County Conservation Distict received its Certificate of Organization on November 15, 1941. For over seven decades it has been our goal to protect and preserve the fine quality of Scott County's natural resources.
We are primarily funded by the people of Scott County via the Scott County Fiscal Court. Additional funding is obtained from the Kentucky Division of Conservation and the Governor's Office of Agricultural Policy. We are local government and a sub-entity of state government.
The District assists Scott County land owners and land users in installing sound conservation best management practices on their land in order to control erosion and protect water quality. Below are some activities and programs we regularly offer:
