Conservation District Grants

DNRC's Conservation Districts Bureau offers state-funded grants provided by the legislature with the goal of empowering conservation districts to conserve the natural resources of Montana through locally-led conservation. Grant funds can be used for implementing on-the-ground projects, delivering educational programming to youth and adults, assisting landowners with innovative conservation practices, and for district operations.

CD grants are only available to Montana's 58 conservation districts.

Conservation District Grants

All conservation districts in Montana are eligible if they 1) have levied the maximum county mills allowed for the current fiscal year, 2) demonstrate a need for additional funds, and 3) are working towards a conservation activity as identified in an annual workplan, watershed restoration plan, or district strategic plan.
