Mission

The Conservation Districts of Iowa (CDI) informs, educates, and leads Iowans through our local soil and water conservation districts to promote conservation of natural resources.

Structure

The 500 soil and water conservation district commissioners, five for every soil and water conservation district in Iowa, make up the Conservation Districts of Iowa’s membership. CDI’s day-to-day operations are governed by an Executive Board and Regional Directors. The 9 CDI Regional Directors each represent 9-13 counties in one of nine regions. CDI staff includes an Executive Director, Program Coordinator, two Conservation Planning Coordinators, five Conservation Wetland Specialists, five Land & Water Conservationists, five Wetland Engineering Technicians and 25 Administrative Support Specialists
