Next Board Meeting
March 9th, 2026, at 5:30 pm
Our mission is to support leadership, expertise, funding, and education that bring together the diverse interests in our watershed to enhance, protect, and conserve our priceless natural resources toward a vibrant, abundant future for our entire community.
February brings momentum as planning turns into action!
Happy February 2026 from the team at Mesa Conservation District! As winter continues across the Western Slope, many producers are shifting from reflection into preparation and early-season decision-making. February is a time to finalize crop plans, prepare irrigation systems, and take advantage of educational opportunities that support soil health, water efficiency, and long-term agricultural resilience ahead of spring.
At Mesa Conservation District, we are grateful to continue working alongside our community as the year gains momentum. This time of year highlights the strength of collaboration, technical learning, and forward-thinking stewardship. Together, we look ahead to the growing season with renewed focus on conservation, innovation, and supporting the producers and landowners who care for our land and water resources.

Working for you and with you

We can access a wide variety of funding sources to facilitate local conservation programs that improve soil health, water quantity and quality, clean air and energy efficiency.
“I consider the soil conservation districts movement one of the most important developments in the whole history of agriculture.”
