MUSKEGON CONSERVATION DISTRICT
The mission of the Muskegon Conservation District is serving, educating, and empowering our community for natural resource
protection
by providing site-specific technical assistance and information to landowners in all aspects of natural resource management.
This site and content are the property of the Muskegon Conservation District
Since 1938 the Muskegon Conservation District
has been hard at work conserving our local natural
resources.   And, although this overarching mission
comes out of state law, the essence of what we
accomplish day-to-day is due to the passion of the
Board of Directors, the staff, and our interaction with
YOU!  Each project we complete, and program that
we run, is due to an expressed interest or need that
comes directly from local communities.  The
Conservation District is available to provide
technical assistance to public and private
landowners on a variety of topics including forestry   
management, fish and wildlife habitat enhancement, stormwater protection,    
native landscaping, and streambank restoration.  For more information on       
what we do and how we can assist in your natural resource needs please       
browse the site or contact our office.

The Muskegon Conservation District is putting together its 1st annual “Holes
for Habitats” golf scramble fundraiser to raise money for on the ground
conservation projects and programs here in Muskegon County.  In that effort,
we are asking organizations / businesses and the public to get involved in
this event in some capacity, whether as a sponsor or as a golfer.  We have
put together a brochure describing the sponsorship opportunities, golf team
registration, as well as information about the event.
