The Land and Water Conservation Board connects local and state governments on conservation and farmland preservation issues. The board:
Reviews county land and water plans and makes recommendations
Recommends how the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection should allocate conservation funds to counties
Provides a forum to discuss emerging soil and water conservation issues
The LWCB has 11 members: three each from county land conservation committees and state agency leaders, one Governor-appointed member serving a two-year term, and four Governor-appointed members representing urban, rural, river management and natural resource preservation interests. Mark Cupp is the current chair.
