Who
are we?
The
York County Conservation District is the county
government office devoted to assisting residents with
their natural resource and environmental concerns.
The
District was founded in 1938 when 554 farmers signed a
petition requesting assistance for protecting the
natural resources of York County. Today, we not
only assist farmers, but also all county residents, by
promoting the maintenance, improvement, and wise use
of land, water, soil and other related natural
resources within the County. We accomplish this
mission through educational programs and the
administration of laws and regulations for the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection,
Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the State
Conservation Commission.
Sixty
six of Pennsylvania’s sixty seven counties have a
Conservation District office responsible for
advocating natural resource conservation. Since
the beginning, the office has been directed by a board
of citizen concerned about the environmental welfare
of our County, State and Country. That local
leadership continues today as we seek to partner with
state and federal programs to protect and preserve
York County’s natural resources
