About Us
The High Desert Conservation District (HDCD) is one of 74 conservation districts in Colorado, serving most of Montezuma County. Established in 1942 under the Colorado Soil Conservation Act, the District works to conserve natural resources, support sustainable land use, and protect soil and water for current and future generations. Governed by a volunteer Board of Supervisors, HDCD partners closely with local, state, and federal agencies, including the Natural Resources Conservation Service, to serve countywide needs. District programs are supported through grants, partnerships, and earned revenue, allowing HDCD to deliver conservation projects, technical assistance, and outreach and education events focused on agriculture, soil health, water, and related natural resource topics. HDCD also offers soil sample testing, technical assistance on soil health and irrigation practices, and provides conservation supplies and equipment to the community, including seedling trees, weed barrier materials, and rental equipment.
