ERIE COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT

The Erie County Conservation District (ECCD) was established in 1949 by farmers in response to then-current unsustainable farming practices. The goal was to create an organization that promoted environmentally sound, sustainable agriculture. Today, the Conservation District services have expanded to include not only agriculture, but also waterway conservation, Best Management Practices for construction, and environmental education for all ages. Our highly trained staff is available to assist residents of Erie County and beyond in their goal to discover and follow ways to wisely use our land and water resources... Our mission is to set an example and provide assistance to citizens in Erie County for wise use, management, and development of our natural resources by addressing conservation issues through education and outreach.
