Locally – Led Conservation

South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts

Locally led conservation is the involvement of community stakeholders in natural resources conservation planning. It’s as simple as the name implies – local people addressing local issues.

How to Apply:

All landowners, producers, and community members are part of the locally-led effort!


Locally led conservation is based on the idea that local people know the land around them best and understand what is best for it. Whether it’s landowners, producers, or community members, everyone has a role to play in keeping our natural resources healthy for future generations.
