The Conservation Districts in Montana utilize locally-led and largely non-regulatory approaches to address natural resource issues. CDs have a decades-long history of conserving our state’s resources by helping local people match their needs to available technical and financial resources, thereby getting good conservation practices on the ground to the benefit of all Montanans.

The GCCD works with farmers, ranchers, educators, and other conservation/agricultural partners to continue conservation acts of all kinds. We operate two Aquatic Invasive Species Watercraft Inspection Stations to stop invasive species entering Montana with the financial/operational help from FWP. We continue with the Fire Mitigation Program with the help from BLM. With one employee we operate a Noxious Weed Control Program. We operate a Tree Program.
