A guide to landowner Gypsy Moth Management 

The Clare Conservation District (Clare CD) is a local unit of government that utilizes resources from public and private sectors to bring diverse groups together to solve local resource problems. As stewards of the land, we strive to protect watersheds by conserving forests and reforesting open spaces. We encourage stewardship responsibilities of landowners, and are the prime local source of environmental education.

The Clare Conservation District operates off of grants awarded, tree sales, and donations from the community. 

Your generous contributions will help to ensure the health and beauty of Clare County's natural resources both for today and for future generations to come. Every dollar invested in the District goes directly into implementation of hands on conservation projects which will build an environmental legacy we can be proud of. To promote our conservation efforts in the community, consider donating today.
