Board members volunteer their time to assist landowners and land users in protecting and conserving the natural resources in St. Clair County.

For 80 years, The St. Clair County Conservation District has been committed to conserving St. Clair County’s natural resources by connecting those who use and work the land to the education, technical know-how, and resources they need. This stewardship revived the landscape from the devastation of the 1930’s and continues to improve quality of life for all Alabama citizens.

The St. Clair County Conservation District is part of a statewide movement in the conservation of Alabama’s natural resources: Conserve Alabama. Conserve Alabama is an initiative of the State of Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee to re-energize and unite stakeholders in the effort to be good stewards of our land and water. With growing population and increased demand of resources in the 21st Century, it is more important than ever that we use our resources wisely. Join us to Conserve Alabama!
