To conserve Kentucky's natural resources through education and assistance to producers and local conservation districts.

The Division of Conservation partners with federal, state and local agencies to assist landowners in installing best management practices that protect the soil and water resources of Kentucky. We promote classroom education through material development and assist conservation districts in meeting the needs of their local communities. We provide administrative assistance to the Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the Agriculture Water Quality Authority as they develop sound policy.

Each year at the National Association of State Conservation Agencies (NASCA) annual meeting, attendees are split into basically an employees' meeting and a management meeting. The employees' sessions are largely made up of state presentations from across the country on state accomplishments and programs. The final day, everyone comes together and the top 3 presentations, as voted by the participants, are given to the entire group. This is the third year in a row that Kentucky has made the top 3! We are very proud of Johnna for her presentation on our Districts in Good Standing (DIGS) program.

We are very proud to be part of a partnership in the Commonwealth that is considered a leader in the national conservation community.
