These boys have a very specific mission on the Palosaari
farm in Chassell.
Mission/Purpose
A Conservation District is a local unit of state government
organized by the people within the District boundaries under provisions
of The Soil Conservation District Law, Act 297 of Public Act of 1937,
as amended. As such, it is a locally controlled resource management agency,
created by concerned landowners and administered by a publicly elected
board of directors. In 1994, the Conservation District Law was made part
of The Compiled Environmental Code. It is now Part 93 of Act 451 of 1994,
as amended.
The locally elected five-member board of directors makes all decisions regarding the District's programs and activities. The directors hire qualified staff to conduct and carry out the programs and activities that have been approved. These programs provide technical assistance, information, and education to assist people in the District to properly manage their natural resources. In Michigan, there are 82 Conservation Districts which are generally organized along county boundaries.
