Outreach & Events

A major aspect of our mission at Montcalm Conservation District involves providing conservation education to our county through outreach programs and events like those seen below. Not only do we host our own events, but we are also happy to appear as featured presenters at the events of other groups with like-minded goals. We often partner with conservation-based organizations as well as local schools and libraries.

Is your organization hosting an agriculture, natural resource or conservation-based event you'd like us to participate in?

Do you have suggestions for an event you'd like to see us host?

If so, send us an email at montcalmcd@macd.org.
