WHO ARE WE?
The Purpose of the Pulaski Conservation District
(District) is to
plan and carry out a program for the conservation and efficient use of
land, water and related natural resources in Pulaski County. In so doing
it serves as the medium through which all individuals, agencies,
organizations and institutions with conservation interests can
effectively work together to solve local problems in natural resources
conservation.
Technical assistance is provided to
the district through a mutual agreement between the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the State of Arkansas and the District. The Pulaski County Field Service Center of the
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm Service Agency
(FSA) are partnered with the district office to provide conservation related
services. The district also works closely with the Pulaski County
Extension Service, Pulaski County Judge and Quorum Court, Arkansas
Forestry Commission, city mayors and county land users.
The District is governed by five
local landowners known as the board of directors; three of whom are
elected by the landowners in the district, and two are appointed by the
Arkansas Natural Resources Commission. Directors serve three year terms.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Pulaski Conservation District was organized to serve Pulaski County by recognizing the needs and objectives of each community and assisting them to meet those objectives. The district provides valuable assistance in this process by coordinating the services and efforts of various state and federal agencies. The District develops and carries out programs for the conservation of our soil, water and other natural resources within the county. Pulaski County is shared by all its people, urban and rural alike; therefore, we share the responsibility for keeping it productive.
DISTRICT SUPPORT
The District receives financial support from the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission and the Pulaski County Quorum Court.
