Our Mission: "Working with our community to protect, conserve and restore the natural resources of Kalamazoo County"
Through voluntary, science-based practices, we ensure our natural resources thrive for generations. Together, we’re building a healthier environment and stronger economy right here in Kalamazoo, with the vision of 'a county where community leaders and citizens work together to actively cultivate a culture of responsible natural resource stewardship and management.'
Join us in making a lasting difference—explore how we can work with you.
2026/2027 Kalamazoo County Natural Resources Assessment NOW AVAILABLE!
Every five years the Kalamazoo Conservation District seeks input on the natural resources and conservation concerns within Kalamazoo County. This survey helps us prioritize efforts and direct resources toward the most important natural resources needs of the County.
This survey is for residents, landowners and land managers in Kalamazoo County!
All responses will be kept strictly confidential. Please complete survey by June 30th, 2027.
