Our
History: In the 1930's the Dust Bowl ravaged Oklahoma and caused soil loss and water quality degradation. The U.S. Congress, in 1937, encouraged states to create conservation districts to work with the federal government on soil erosion control. In response to this, in 1937, the Oklahoma State Legislature passed the Conservation District Enabling Act, which created the conservation districts. On April 12, 1938, the Arkansas-Verdigris Conservation District was the second conservation district to form in the state with offices located in Broken Arrow, OK with five local citizens as the supervising board of directors. In 1972, the boundaries of the conservation district were moved from old watershed boundaries to the current boundary of the Tulsa County line, and the district became known as it is today: Tulsa County Conservation District |
