History
The Lebanon County Conservation District was organized at the request
of county citizens under the state's Conservation District Law to provide
conservation of the soil, water, woodland and wildlife resources; to
assist in watershed protection and flood prevention; to preserve the
tax base; and to protect and promote the health and general welfare
of the people of the county.
Lebanon County Commissioners declared a Conservation District on May
23, 1949, in accordance with the provisions of the
"Conservation District Law" of 1945, Act 217 of the Pennsylvania
General Assembly. Under this law, the Lebanon County Conservation District
may acquire real and personal property or the rights therein, and accept
contributions with the consent and approval of the State Conservation
Commission. Please contact the Lebanon County Conservation District
to discuss any protocols related to a gift or donation. Learn more about
conservation districts by viewing the slide
show (at bottom of page).
The District
The Conservation District is an independent agency created by Lebanon
County under Pennsylvania's Conservation
District Law. It is not a state agency but is considered a subdivision
of state government, administered by a Board of Directors, composed
of at least four farm directors, no less than two public directors and
one County Commissioner. It operates under supervision of the State
Conservation Commission of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection. The Directors serve without pay and are chosen primarily
for their interest in soil and water conservation.
The District recognizes and respects the position and policies of all federal,
state, local agencies, organizations and individuals working in the
county who have responsibilities or an interest in the field of soil
and water conservation, land use planning and related types of work.
