The Brown County Conservation District will conduct a sign-up February 13-29^th to accept requests for state financial assistance to install conservation practices.

The conservation district administers state cost-share programs locally to improve water quality and reduce soil erosion. Funding is provided by the Division of Conservation, Kansas Department of Agriculture through appropriation from the Kansas Water Plan Fund.

Landowners with natural resource concerns on their property are encouraged to visit the Brown County Conservation District to discuss the possibility of receiving state financial assistance.

Funding is provided through cost-share payments to landowners for traditional conservation practices designed to conserve soil and protect water resources. There is also cost share available to address abandoned well plugging, upgrading failing home waste systems and upgrade livestock waste facilities.

For more information concerning state cost-programs and other available services, please contact Vicki Goertzen, District Manager, Brown County Conservation District, 785-742-3161 ext 3.
