The Elk Conservation District is one of sixty-six
conservation districts statewide. All districts
function in accordance with the Conservation District Law,
Act 217 of 1945. The District acts as a legal
subdivision of state government under the supervision of the
State Conservation Commission. Operational funding for
District programs is obtained from the Elk County
Commissioners and The Department of Environmental
Protection.
Responsibilities and programs differ widely within each
individual conservation district. The reasoning behind
this is that while every county faces many similar problems,
there are also many that remain unique to a particular
county or area of the state. This is where the
District's role in conservation issues comes into play.
Districts can step in to fill many voids where other state,
federal, and local agencies may be unable to become involved
and provide assistance. Districts are able to tailor
many of their programs and activities to assist with local
conservation problems and their solutions.
