About Us

  Iron Baraga Conservation District is one of Michigan's 77 Conservation  Districts.  We are providers of natural resource management services and  information. Our goal is simple: To help local citizens manage their  lands and preserve our environment. 

History

  Soil & Water Conservation Districts started during the dust bowl years. Iron Conservation District and Baraga Conservation District merged on Feb  9th, 2016 and formed the Iron Baraga Conservation District.  We now  serve both Iron and Baraga Counties.  

How We Do It

Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you. Funding for our programs, projects,  workshops, and outreach events come from our tree sale, grants, contracts, and donations.
