Dakota Conservation Network is based on the principle that local people make the best decisions for their communities. This was recognized in 1937 as local conservation districts were created to address natural resource concerns. Today, South Dakota’s 69 Conservation Districts work together with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service through a locally-led process.
Dakota Conservation Network was started in 2023 to promote locally-led conservation initiatives that build healthy soils, improve water quality, provide wildlife habitat, and improve the environmental and economic performance of working lands across South Dakota’s 31,000 farms and ranches.
