A governmental sub-division of the State of Delaware authorized by the state legislation in Title 7 of the Delaware Code, Chapter 39 and responsible for conservation work within Kent County. In Delaware, there is a conservation district in each county.
The district functions to: Focus attention on land, water and related resource problems; Develop programs to solve them; Enlist and coordinate help from public and private sources to accomplish the district goals; and Increase awareness of the inter-relationship between human activities and the natural environment,
Districts are managed by citizens who know local problems. KCD is guided by a ten member Board of Supervisors – four farming members elected by landowners in local elections, two non-farm members appointed by the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), one representing Kent County government, the Delaware Cooperative Extension Agent, and two associate members appointed by the Director of DNREC's Division of Soil and Water Conservation for expertise deemed valuable to the operation of the District.
It is the district supervisor’s responsibility to plan and direct the district programs, coordinate the help of governmental agencies, assign priority to requests for conservation technical assistance from private landowners, and serve as a community clearinghouse for information services.
