The Stephens County Conservation District was formed on April 8, 1982 and supervises conservation efforts for Stephens County. The district is located in Area 2 of Georgia’s conservation districts and has 13 flood control dams. The county is represented by supervisors who are either elected to serve 4-year terms or appointed to serve 2-year terms. Their responsibilities include: budgeting both state and district allotment funds, addressing public concerns, approving or denying erosion and sediment control plans, promoting conservation practices, and more.
The district supports local governments in their efforts to promote soil and water conservation, recycling, and education. They also provide scholarships to high school students each year and sponsorships for students attending the Natural Resources Conservation Workshop held annually at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (Tifton, GA) and students who compete in the Envirothon. Presently, they own and operate the Willard Kimsey Environmental Education Center, located in Eastanollee, which helps bring funds into the district as they provide space rental to local residents at a reasonable cost.
