This decision was approved by Wyoming Secretary of State Thyra Thompson. Conservation District Boards are the only elected Boards that are charged with the proper management of Wyoming s natural resources. As a legal subdivision of Wyoming State government, the District Board of Supervisors constitutes a policy-making group elected by the people on the general election ballot. Five Supervisors, each serving a two-year term, perform their duties without compensation. The Supervisors work with all individuals, groups, and agencies interested in soil and water conservation, land use planning, watershed protection, flood prevention, and other related interests and endeavors.
Districts also stabilize local economies and resolve conflicts in land use.
