Wildlife Habitat

The Stearns Conservation District offers a variety of wildlife habitat options for your land. There are opportunities for private and public landowners to work with local, state, and federal partners to identify habitat and develop a plan to enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Managing wildlife can bring beauty, environmental benefits, improved wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities and more. Each program offers a unique opportunity to improve your land for your wildlife goals.
