Lane County Conservation District

The Lane County Conservation District (LCCD) is a government subdivision of the State of Kansas operated by a locally elected board of supervisors, and funded by local and state monies. As an entity of state government, LCCD provides natural resource conservation expertise in the county, and cooperates with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), as well as other federal, state and local agencies.

The Conservation District offers many services and opportunities with the objective to “develop and implement programs to protect and conserve soil, water, farmland, rangeland, woodland, wildlife, energy, riparian and wetland resources.”

State Cost-Share funding is available to local producers and landowners for practices such as: terraces, diversions, grassed waterways, field windbreaks, livestock tanks, wells and waste facilities, critical area planting, pasture and hay-land planting, cross fencing, and abandoned well plugging. The District also provides rental service of a Tree Planter, Weed Barrier machine, Roto Tiller, Laser Level and Drip Torch Burner. Grass seed, trees and shrubs, drip irrigation supplies, weed barrier and stakes, marking flags, composters and recycling bins are available for purchase.
