Conservation Commission

Formed in response to the Dust Bowl, the Oklahoma Conservation Commission supports the state's 84 conservation districts. The commission works to conserve, protect and restore Oklahoma's natural resources in collaboration with districts and other partners. Its work includes technical and financial assistance, research, accurate data and educational experiences. It also shares resources and opportunities that help communities engage with local conservation districts. The commission addresses issues affecting air, water, soil, habitats and farmland, including invasive species and watershed restoration. Training events, such as sessions on unpaved roads, are part of its offerings. The Oklahoma Conservation Commission is a public agency based in Oklahoma City, serving citizens across the state.
