For immediate release: March 28, 2017 Media contact: Jessy Sielski, 517-284-5725
Lansing, Michigan – The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) announced the formation of the Sanilac-St. Clair Conservation District. Residents in these two counties can now receive services at the district’s office located at 50 East Miller Road, Sandusky, Michigan 48471.
“The consolidation of these two districts into one reflects the local leadership’s ability to work together to provide services of these two counties,” said MDARD Director Jamie Clover Adams. “Recognizing the office will allow the district to more effectively deliver the broad range of conservation services to residents.”
The district offers services to local residents in many areas such as the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program, Forestry Assistance Program, federal Farm Bill, and the Conservation Technical Assistance Initiative.
“We will continue to offer the same conservation services to the residents of Sanilac and St. Clair counties,” said Joe Kautz, district manager of the Sanilac-St. Clair Conservation District.
On March 22, 2017, a public hearing was held to discuss, hear comments, and approve the formation of the Sanilac-St. Clair Conservation District. The new district reflects a consolidation of the Sanilac and St. Clair Conservation Districts effective immediately.
There are 76 conservation districts located throughout Michigan. Michigan’s conservation districts are the local providers of natural resource management services that help our citizens conserve their lands and our environment for a cleaner, healthier, economically stronger Michigan. As local, special purpose units of government, each conservation district is governed by a locally-elected, five-member board of directors.
