The Division of Conservation provides assistance to Kentucky's 121 conservation districts in the development and implementation of sound conservation programs to protect, enhance, and develop the Commonwealth's natural resources.
The Division administers the Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Program and the Kentucky Soil Stewardship Program to help agricultural operations protect and preserve Kentucky's soil and water resources. The Division provides administrative services to the State Soil and Water Conservation Commission. The Division and the conservation districts provide educational opportunities to promote conservation of Kentucky's natural resources. These programs mitigate soil erosion, and other environmental problems associated with agricultural, woodland and construction operations which impact water quality.
