Working together, we CDs seek out, coordinate, and use private and public funding to provide educational and financial assistance to communities and individual landowners in helping them manage their precious natural resources.

Jackson County Conservation District is a local not-for-profit unit of government under the umbrella of the Kentucky Division of Conservation, a state government agency. Our job is to protect soil and water quality so that Jackson Countians may continue enjoying and using them in perpetuity. We cannot simply create new healthy, abundant resources, so it is imperative that we carefully manage resources we already have. Conservation Districts (nearly 3,000 of them in the U.S.) exist to do just that.

Approximately 80% of JCCD's funding comes from property taxes paid by county residents; 5% comes from the state of Kentucky; the rest comes from various insignificant sources, such as interest earned on bank accounts. We are your tax dollars at work. We use this money to:

• provide Jackson County schools with educational materials;

• to purchase native grass seed and tree seedlings to give away each year;

• to provide financial assistance for residents in need of septic systems;

• to help farmers cover the cost of applying much-needed lime to pastures and hay fields;

• to recognize and reward those who excel in safely managing soil and water on their properties; and

• to provide two $500-per-semester academic scholarships for Jackson County students majoring in agriculture- and environment-related subjects.
