Conservation Success Stories

The Conservation Commission and conservation districts integrate  science, technology, and effective strategies for engaging people into our  voluntary solutions. This helps us build community around conservation and  deliver multi-benefit results. You’ll find examples of these solutions—and  the results we’ve been able to celebrate with participating landowners and  partners—in these community success stories.

Livestock Infrastructure

Pomeroy Conservation District

Facing challenges with soil erosion and degraded plant conditions, a local livestock owner in Pomeroy Conservation District was struggling to feed, water, and care for their cattle during the winter months.

Pomeroy CD stepped in to help develop infrastructure at a prime location, utilizing an existing water source while staying clear of Lower Deadman Creek. This project will create a localized feedlot, allowing for better cattle management, reduced soil erosion, and improved plant health.
