Kentucky Division of Conservation has staff physically located outside of Frankfort, Kentucky. Those are listed here along with listings for soil scientists and the Green River CREP coordinator.
Field services are provided by the division's 11 field representatives. They help the 121 conservation districts develop and implement conservation programs. Among each representative's many responsibilities is assisting with district programs such as conservation education and information; financial reporting and budgeting; assisting local communities in carrying out state and federal conservation programs; and providing important communication links with the district, with cooperating agencies and with the division.
In addition, field services include education and outreach programs, such as the annual Conservation Writing and Art Contest for students in grades K through 12. The contest reaches approximately 118,000 students across Kentucky providing them with information about soil conservation, water quality, forestry, and fish and wildlife resource issues. The field representatives are also involved with the regional and state Envirothon competitions and with the Firewise Program.
