Arizona Association of Conservation Districts

Districts are uniquely positioned to represent Arizona’s conservation concerns and goals.

In a state where a large percentage of the land is administered by state or federal agencies, Conservation Districts are in a position to guide policy and help align goals with producers, land managers, landowners, and other conservation and environmental groups. AACD works to support Arizona’s Conservation Districts in their efforts to conserve our natural resources.

The Arizona Association of Conservation Districts was established in 1944 by Arizona’s Conservation Districts as a means of support to help coordinate and fund locally-led conservation efforts across the state and to unify and represent District goals and interests.
