Conservation Board

The Guthrie County Conservation Board (GCCB) was established in 1967. The board consists of five members appointed to five-year staggered terms by the county supervisors. The members serve without pay but receive their actual expenses for mileage, etc., while carrying out official duties. The conservation board hires a full-time Director whose duties are to carry out the policies and projects of the board and to guide and advise the board in their decision making.

Mission

The mission of the Guthrie County Conservation Board is to acquire, develop, maintain and make available to the inhabitants of the county, public parks, preserves, parkways, recreational centers, county forests, wildlife, public museums, and other conservation areas, to promote and preserve the health and general welfare of the people, to encourage the orderly development and conservation of natural resources, and to cultivate good citizenship by providing adequate programs of public recreation and conservation education.
