District Services

The District Services division's primary objective is to serve as a liaison to conservation district boards and employees in an effort to enhance the capabilities of districts to deliver a variety of services and programs.

District Services provides:

• A centralized contact point for the state's conservation districts requesting assistance from the Oklahoma Conservation Commission staff.
• Staff to attend district board meetings and work in district offices to assist in interfacing with other agency representatives on issues, and capacity-building opportunities for districts.
• Training and professional development for both conservation district employees and directors.
• Assistance to districts on legal affairs, natural resource planning and reporting, district board functions, human relations, conflict resolution, and finance and personnel management.
