State Cost-Share Programs
Conservation of natural resources is important to all Kansans. The Division of Conservation (DOC) administers state cost-share programs through the Conservation District, which provide landowners with financial assistance to implement approved conservation practices. Funding for the Water Resource Cost-Share program is provided by the DOC from the Kansas Water Fund. Funding for the local cost-share program is provided through Douglas County.
