Your Conservation Partners Since 1941
The Franklin County Conservation District is a political subdivision of state government, established in 1941 and charged with the conservation of the natural resources of Franklin County. Our primary operating funds are provided exclusively through county ad-valorem tax funds, as appropriated through the Franklin County Commissioners; and Kansas Water Plan funds, as outlined in K.S.A. 2-1907C. The partnership we have with the Franklin County Board of Commissioners is invaluable and allows us to provide our many services and programs to residents of Franklin County. Public education about natural resources in order to help create environmentally literate Kansans for the future is a large part of our mission. We want to provide resources and experiences to allow current and future generations to understand the importance and value of conservation.
