Iron Baraga Conservation District is one of Michigan's 77 Conservation Districts. We are providers of natural resource management services and information. Our goal is simple: To help local citizens manage their lands and preserve our environment. Funding for our programs, plumbing services, plumbing repair, projects, drain cleaning, workshops, and outreach events come from our tree sale, grants, contracts, and donations.

Some of our current grants help with: Forest Management, Aquatic Invasive Species and Terrestial Invasive Species.

We are funded by the MDNR MISGP Grant Program, the USFS provided GLRI Grant Program, The UPRC&D, and the WE MEF Grant Fund, and our Spring & Fall Tree Sales

Mission: To encourage the wise use of our natural resources through promotion and education.

Vision: We will protect, conserve and encourage the use of our natural resources in a responsible manner.

Conservation Districts began to form during the dust bowl years. Iron Conservation District served the people of Iron County since 1961. Iron Conservation District and Baraga Conservation District merged on Feb 9th, 2016 and formed the Iron Baraga Conservation District. We now serve both Iron and Baraga Counties. Many environmental issues we face today cross county and state borders; We work in partnership with many State or County agencies, and many other Conservation Districts to help all who live in this great county.
