Our 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 of its people, urban and rural alike;
therefore we share the responsibility of keeping it productive.
Our Purpose:
The purpose of the District is to plan and carry out programs for the conservation and efficient use of land, water, and
other related natural resources in Pulaski County. As the District performs
these tasks, 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), the State of Arkansas and the Pulaski Conservation 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.
Board of Directors:
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 and meet once a month.
District Support:
The District receives financial support from the Arkansas Natural
Resources Commission and the Pulaski County Quorum Court.
