Powder River Conservation District:
Who We Are and What We Do
In March 1941, the State Legislation passed an enabling act which established conservation district in Wyoming. Conservation Districts are subdivisions of state government, much like school boards and are the only local government charged specifically by state statute with natural resource management.
The Powder River Conservation District was established in August of 1955. For the past fifty-four years the PRCD has been and will continue to be committed to representing the people of Southern Johnson County at the local level. We strive to provide leadership to initiate the necessary programs that will meet the peoples’ needs for the conservation of their natural resources and the improvement of the environment.
Many services are offered through the PRCD for people to take advantage of, these include: the sale of large and small stock tree, drip irrigation, weed barrier and irrigation dam materials, hazardous/household waste collection days, well water testing, and educational workshops and materials. As well, we also have an extensive water quality program, youth education program, Russian olive removal program, and provided assistance for small water development projects on the Kaycee Stock Rest
