 On February 13, 1964, out of concern for the conservation of the natural, scenic, historic, and aesthetic resources of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, the Luzerne County Commissioners established the Luzerne Conservation District.
The Luzerne Conservation District is a local agency whose primary types of activities include: regulatory/voluntary compliance, technical assistance, and education/outreach. We accomplish our mission through cooperation with landowners and land users; by working with other public and private organizations; and by increasing citizen awareness of their responsibility to be good stewards of natural resources.
As one of the sixty six conservation districts in Pennsylvania (one for each county except Philadelphia County), the Luzerne Conservation District is involved in developing local programs and implementing on-the-ground practices to protect the soil and water resources of Luzerne County. The district is led by a nine-member board consisting of community volunteers and a county commissioner. Currently, there are eight staff members including: the District Manager, the Secretary/Bookkeeper, the Chesapeake Bay Specialist, three Resource Conservation Specialists, the Watershed Program Coordinator and a part-time Building and Grounds Keeper. District programs are developed and carried out to best serve the specific needs of the natural resources and people of Luzerne County.
