 The
Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District is the conservation gateway in
our community. The District helps local people find answers to their land
management questions by linking them with natural resource professionals,
products, and services. A Board of Directors, consisting of elected community
volunteers, makes decisions about conservation programs and services and
hires qualified staff to conduct and carry them out.
The Houghton Keweenaw Conservation
District began more than 50 years ago and is one of eighty-two districts
in the state of Michigan.
