GARFIELD COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
EST 1944
GCCD
The Garfield County Conservation District was established in the year of 1944. It consisted of a board of five people and those supervisors were W.A. Larson, Karl Karlson, Frank C. Johnson, George Willimson, and Lester McKinney.
The Conservation Districts in Montana utilize locally-led and largely non-regulatory approaches to address natural resource issues. CDs have a decades-long history of conserving our state’s resources by helping local people match their needs to available technical and financial resources, thereby getting good conservation practices on the ground to the benefit of all Montanans.
The GCCD works with farmers, ranchers, educators, and other conservation/agricultural partners to continue conservation acts of all kinds. We operate two Aquatic Invasive Species Watercraft Inspection Stations to stop invasive species entering Montana with the financial/operational help from FWP. We will get those weeds off of your land, with our Noxious Weed Control Program. We operate a Tree Program, so make sure to get your tree orders in. The Garfield County Conservation District also helped in the set up and spread out of Mesonet Weather stations around the county. Also if you do any work on the bed of perennial steam make sure to reach out to us to acquire a 310 Permit.
