Non-regulatory state agency responsible for protecting Oklahoma's natural resources through voluntary programs for local solutions. https://conservation.ok.gov/

We provide assistance to conservation districts and work in the areas of soil conservation, erosion control, upstream flood control, abandoned mine land reclamation, conservation cost-share, environmental education, and water quality. In April 1937 Oklahoma passed the Conservation District Enabling Act, giving citizens the opportunity to form their own conservation districts. Today there is at least one conservation district assisting citizens in every county in Oklahoma. The Act also created the non-regulatory agency known today as the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, which is home to several voluntary programs including the Oklahoma Wetlands Program, Blue Thumb Program, Locally-Led Cost-Share Program, Conservation Education Program, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, Small Watershed Upstream Flood Control Program, Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program, Carbon Program, and Nonpoint Source Water Quality Management Program.

Amy Seiger and Greg Scott from our Soil Health Program worked with the Pontotoc County Conservation District and the Coal County Conservation District to host 7 schools, totaling 75 students and educators, for a land-judging training event in Ada, OK.

Students and teachers learned from soil health professionals from OCC and NRCS about soil texture, measuring slope, and interacting with three soil sites to test their new knowledge.
