Emmet Conservation District
Welcome to the Emmet Conservation District website, your gateway to natural resources management and source for environmental information and assistance.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
4/2/20: Due to the extended Governor's Orders regarding the COVID-19 outbreak in Michigan and the uncertainty about when those Orders will be eased or lifted, the ECD has made the tough decision to cancel the 2020 Spring Tree Sale. We will be contacting customers who's orders we have processed, and will provide more information soon. The April Board Meeting is also cancelled.
Per State of Michigan Executive Orders, the Emmet County Office Buildings and the Conservation District Office are closed through the end of April.
We know that people are stretched thin these days, but this disaster is also impacting our organization, which relies on our spring tree sale for a majority of our funding. So, if you can afford it, please consider making a donation to the ECD to assist us with our operating costs and programs. Thank you to everyone for your cooperation and we hope you all stay safe and healthy.
