Picture
Our District:
Custer County Conservation District is located in Custer County and a small portion of Fremont County.  It encompasses the Wet Mountain Valley which is surrounded by the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the west and the Wet Mountains to the east.  The valley floor provides excellent grazing and hay producing land.  The east side of the district includes lower elevation ranches and the small towns of Wetmore and Greenwood. 
The District is a mix of large acreage ranches, small acreage properties, subdivisions, and federal and state lands.  We provide services to ranching families that are descendants of the original valley settlers, as well as to landowners that are new to natural resource management.

​Mission Statement:
To promote the stewardship and sustainability of natural resources through education, technical assistance, and by helping landowners learn best management practices based on sound science.
​​​Custer County Conservation District Public Meeting Schedule:
The District Board of Supervisors meets the 2nd Thursday of each month at 2:30 PM
Location: 10 Hermit Ln., Silver Cliff, CO 81252, office conference room

In addition to the regular monthly meetings the District also holds an annual meeting which showcases the previous year's accomplishments as well as featuring a keynote speaker or speakers  with pertinent and timely information for the landowners.
