WHITE RIVER and DOUGLAS CREEK CONSERVATION DISTRICTS and NRCS

ROLLING RIVERS TRAILER

Thursday and Friday – Education Tent

The White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts (Districts) and NRCS support the Meeker Classic Sheepdog Trials and participate in the Educational Programs with our Rolling Rivers Trailer. Students play and learn at the same time. It delivers a hands-on, feet-on education about rivers, watersheds, erosion and more.

The Douglas Creek and White River Conservation Districts were established in 1945 and 1964, respectively, following the passage of the Soil Conservation District Act in 1937. The Districts were created to provide a legal framework for organizing local landowners to voluntarily address soil erosion and manage natural resources such as soil, water, wildlife, plants, and air quality. By partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), United States Forest Service (USFS), and other agencies, they plan and implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address all related resources within the districts’ boundaries.

The Districts’ partnerships serve all landowners within the districts by promoting voluntary conservation practices and offering technical assistance, planning projects, and practice project support. The mission of the Districts is to “provide guidance and technical assistance to encourage and promote the wise use of all the natural resources within the Districts by private landowners and government land management agencies”. For nearly 70 years, the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts have collaborated with individuals and government agencies at the county, state, and federal levels to address resource management challenges.
