Supervisor
Elections
Each Conservation District is run by a 5 member Board of
Supervisors. These Supervisors are elected during the general
election. There are 3 rural members, 1 urban and 1 at large
member on each District Board. These Supervisors serve
voluntarily. Persons interested in filing for election should
contact their local conservation district.
Conservation
District Funding
In 1987, the Wyoming State Legislature granted
Conservation Districts the authority to tax up to one mill. Since
that time, several Districts have obtained mill levy funding.
Several Districts have also received the support of their County
Commissioners and therefore have opted not to request mill levy
funding. The Conservation Districts utilize their local funding
to address publicly identified priority programs and concerns.
Those programs initiated by Districts vary dependent on local
needs. Currently, local people support conservation efforts to
the tune of approximately $2 million.
