The Douglas County Conservation District’s Mission is helping people help the land by promoting projects through education to further sustainable use of natural resources. The district’s goal is also to balance the needs of agriculture and urban growth.
To fulfill our mission we organize workshops, go into schools to teach kids, and we are currently working on a stream restoration project on East Plum Creek in Castle Rock. We work with all District residents to help them discover the value of conservation as it relates to their lives and the future of Douglas County.
To achieve these goals, we work closely with landowners to assist in recommending conservation practices such as windbreaks including specific seedling tree species selection, grass seed plantings to stop erosion, proper grazing management, controlling noxious weeds, and providing products to ensure successful plantings.
Douglas County Conservation District serves on the project's Advisory Committee and will assist with connecting the team to area landowners.
