Our Mission

Benzie Conservation District

To preserve and enhance the natural resources of Benzie County.

Welcome

The District’s purpose is to foster the best use of land for the present and future benefits of the community, based on the land’s capabilities and landowners goals. Combating soil erosion, managing surface and groundwater quality and promoting the maintenance of the lands related resources and the aesthetic values are vital to the community’s long range economic well being, from food and timber production to natural resources related industries and tourism. To these ends, the District strives to be a “gateway” to resource management information and service providers, so that citizens may manage their lands for a healthier Benzie County. The Benzie Conservation District provides information and assistance for all your conservation and environmental concerns.

 

 

 


“Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants, and animals.”
