Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program:
(MGSP) provides educational, technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers and residents to identify and reduce groundwater contamination risks. The program encourages individuals to take voluntary, proactive steps to protect Michigan’s water quality.    More Info

One element of the MGSP program is to promote the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP): MAEAP Progressive Planning is a voluntary, non-regulatory program that allows small and medium-sized livestock producers to chart a path toward environmental assurance for their farms. More Info

Conservation Innovations Grant (CIG):
This is our newest program.  It is a cooperative effort with NRCS, Michigan DEQ, Michigan Department of Agriculture and MSU's Institute of Water Research.  Our CIG Specialist is using a newly developed computer modeling tool, known as high impact targeting, (HIT) to identify areas that have the potential for high sedimentation rates.  The grant's focus is on the Maple River Watershed.  The CIG Specialist will be helping to shape how the model is developed and working with local land-owners and planners to assess the usefulness of the tool.  Part of the CIG Specialist's job is to assist with the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program.  To learn more about the CIG Program contact the Clinton Conservation District Office, John Switzer (989) 224-3720 ext. 3 or via email.
 

Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS):
The mission of the NRCS is to provide leadership in a partnership effort to help people conserve, improve, and sustain our natural resources and environment.  Working closely with NRCS, the District has a Conservation Technical Assistance Initiative (CTAI) Specialist. The CTAI Specialist position is funded jointly by NRCS and the Michigan Department of Agriculture.  This position is focused on working with farmers to implement Farm Bill programs.   More Info
