A Millage to Help Fund the WCCD


On August 4th, 76% of Washtenaw County residents approved a .02 mil, 6-year levy would raise an estimated $348,109 for the Conservation District annually. The estimated cost to a household of an assessed value of $100,000, would be $2.00 per year.
Millage funds would be used to:

-Provide adequate staffing to create a stable organizational infrastructure. 

-Provide matching funds for competitive grants.
                     -Provide funds for existing and expanded programming 
                        
How does WCCD currently serve residents?

The WCCD assists residents and landowners with the conservation, management and wise use of natural resources in Washtenaw County through:

PROTECT SOIL, INCREASE TREE PLANTING AND SEQUESTER CARBON: Through annual resource distributions of trees, plants & tools for Conservation. Over 7.1 million trees and plants that have been planted as a result of WCCD’s work since 1948. 

PROTECT CLEAN WATER: Through the Michigan Agricultural Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP), an innovative, non-regulatory, proactive program that helps farms of all sizes and all commodities voluntarily prevent  pollution risks. 

INCREASE COMMUNITY CAPACITY: The WCCD provides seasonal educational workshops on how to implement conservation on the ground through educational offerings geared toward backyard hobbyists and agricultural producers.  

PROTECT NATIVE ECOSYSTEMS AND HABITAT:  Provide education, outreach and some mitigation assistance around invasive species (e.g. Stiltgrass, Japanese knotweed, Frogbit, etc) that threaten the health of our natural areas.

CONNECTING CONSERVATION RESOURCES: The WCCD serves as a one-stop location for conservation information through our website, site-specific assistance from Conservation experts on how to address needs, planning assistance for various programs and connecting residents and landowners to local, state and federal cost-share opportunities.
