The Marquette County Conservation District is the largest conservation district in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with five employees including a County Inspector for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control, Watershed Project Manager, Native Plants specialist, Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program Administrator as well as a District Conservationist from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Due to the budget crisis in the state of Michigan, the Forestry Assistance Program has been terminated, however, the staff is happy to answer questions, provide pertinent information or a referral for your private forestry needs. The MCCD is responsible for educating the residents of Marquette County concerning the benefits of conservation practices. Our conservation professionals work with other agencies to encourage resource users to protect resources, maintain its productivity, and protect or improve its profitability. We provide natural resource management services and referrals in Marquette County.
