Conservation Programs Section



Delaware's three Conservation Districts (New Castle, Kent and Sussex Conservation Districts) are authorized by Delaware Code, Title 7, Chapter 39 to further conservation, protection, development and utilization of land and water resources in the state.
They are involved in numerous programs and activities that help landowners become better stewards of their land, most notably the State Cost-Share Program. The Division of Watershed Stewardship's Conservation District Operations Program is responsible for the administration and direction of the Conservation District programs as well as providing technical assistance for survey.
