Whitley County Conservation District, located in Corbin, KY, is dedicated to helping individuals and organizations plant the seeds of tomorrow through their various conservation programs. They offer financial and technical assistance to agriculture producers in the development and implementation of agriculture water quality plans, with a focus on reducing animal waste nutrients and preventing soil erosion. Their State Cost Share Program prioritizes animal waste related problems and agricultural districts with pollution issues, while their Local Cost Share Program provides an alternative option for those not approved for the State program.
With a mission to protect and preserve the environment, Whitley County Conservation District also plays a role in supporting the conservation of the Monarch butterfly. They work alongside the US Fish and Wildlife Services to address the habitat loss of native milkweeds, which are crucial for the survival of these beautiful butterflies. Through USDA programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program, they encourage the planting of native plants to support pollinators and contribute to the preservation of the Monarch butterfly's habitat.
