Stewards of Our Land, Partners in Our Community
The Dickinson County Conservation District (DCCD) – Your local partner in conserving our land and resources for nearly 80 years. Established in 1945, the DCCD is one of 105 districts serving Kansas farmers by county. Led by five elected supervisors, we are dedicated to the stewardship of Dickinson County’s natural heritage. DCCD works alongside other organizations to provide technical assistance, funding options, and educational resources. We help residents manage their soil, water, farmland, grazing land, woodlands, wildlife, and wetlands using sustainable practices and technologies. DCCD’s funding comes from a combination of county and state allocations, as well as income generated by providing conservation services. We invite you to learn more about our programs, volunteer opportunities, or how you can support our mission. Contact us today!

Soil. Where It All Begins.
The 2026 NACD Stewardship Week theme, Soil. Where It All Begins, celebrates the incredible power of soil to support life in all its forms. Soil is not just the ground we walk on. It is the starting point for healthy food, clean water, thriving habitats, and resilient communities. From backyard gardens to forests and city parks, everything begins with what is beneath our feet.
