Welcome!

Welcome to the Teller-Park Conservation District web site.

Across the United States, nearly 3000 conservation districts are helping local people to conserve land, water, forests, wildlife and related natural resources.  We share a single mission to coordinate assistance from all interested public, private, local, state and federal resources to develop locally driven solutions to natural resource concerns.

In 2010, the District hosted two weed management workshops, a small acreage workshop, demonstrated its river riparian trailer & snotel model at several schools and events, gave out six total scholarships to local students and teachers to attend conservation camps, sold over 5100 lbs. of grass & wildflower seed, monitored 4,052 acres and treated 3,756 acres of weeds in Teller and Park counties. When submitted, the District reviews subdivision changes and mining reclamation permits.
