ATTN Office Coverage and Closures:

Due to the "Pause to Save Lives" order from the State we are having to limit staff in the office to one person at a time. Because of this our phone response time may be slower than usual. Thank you for your patience as we adapt to the requirements and recommendations for COVID-19, and having to limit office coverage. 





​Who We Are
Located just south of Bear Lake, the Manistee Conservation District has been serving Manistee County since 1945, connecting private landowners to numerous services, information, access to government programs and technical land-management assistance. Our monthly Board of Directors meetings are open to the public, and all are welcome to attend.
