Join us as we explore how the Custer County Conservation District is positively impacting the environment with their forest thinning program. This successful program is funded by cost-share grants awarded by the South Dakota Conservation Commission and is one of the Conservation Implementation Strategy (CIS) projects in South Dakota. Through their collaborative efforts with local stakeholders and partners, the district has been able to work with landowners to enhance the resiliency of their forests and protect their properties from wildfires and insects. By adopting a landscape approach to forest management and resiliency, the district is promoting a healthier and more resilient ecosystem.
