The Supervisors represent the landowners and residents in both the rural and urban areas. The Lawrence Conservation District is set up by South Dakota Law. The District has a tree planting program which includes selling and planting of young seedlings. The conservation trees and shrubs are sold for planting in shelter belts, windbreaks, living snow fences, and wildlife plots. We also have a weed cultivation program for shelter belts.
Assistance is available for planning a tree plot by calling the office.
Education and information is communicated to all landowners through several programs and projects to educate the public about conservation of natural resources and enhancing the environment. We work closely with ranchers in the area for proper grazing systems, water developments, croplands, erosion concerns and other related practices.
