Are you interested in becoming more involved with your Conservation District? South Douglas Conservation District will have a mail in ballot election March 13, 2024. Carolyn Kelly currently holds the position and will run again. An appointed supervisor position is also open. Joe Sprauer currently holds the position and will run again. The five member Board of Supervisors meets on the first Monday of each month, except August. The supervisors set policy and direction for the Conservation District, serving a three year term without compensation. (We can reimburse for travel).
