The Clare Conservation District (Clare CD) is a local unit of government that have the capacity to bring diverse groups together to solve local resource problems. We will protect watersheds along with conserving and reforesting open spaces. We will encourage stewardship responsibilities of landowners, and are the prime local source of environmental education.

The Clare CD is governed by a locally elected, five member board of directors. This ensures that local residents have a decision of conservation issues on the local level. The government provides the technical assistance to the district. 

The Clare Conservation District is located in the basement of the Clare County Courthouse, located at 225 West Main Street in Harrison, Michigan.
