About Our Work
The Woodford County Conservation District seeks to promote and protect our natural resources; promote conservation through outreach and education; cultivate positive relationships with local, state and federal government entities to strengthen support for conservation programs.
Our History
The Woodford County Conservation District was established through a national effort to develop locally-driven solutions to soil and water resource concerns. Since 1946, the WCCD has worked to promote best management practices on farms through education, outreach and financial incentives through partnerships with local, state and federal agencies. The District is a subdivision of state government, and is governed by a board of seven elected supervisors composed of landowners, farmers and private and public business people whose powers and duties are outlined in the Soil Conservation Act of 1940.
Present Day
The Woodford County Conservation District continues to serve the landowners and residents of Woodford County by addressing natural resource concerns through education, technical assistance and financial cost-share programs. It also facilitates a rental equipment program and houses a certified commercial kitchen in partnership with the Woodford County Extension Service. The District's Agriculture Resources Building serves as a one-stop shop for accessing resources provided by the Cooperative Extension Service, Farm Service Agency, Dept. of Fish & Wildlife Resources, and Woodford County Conservation District.
