Butler County Conservation Board
ABOUT US
The Butler County Conservation Board was created by a majority vote at the General Election held on November 6, 1956. On January 15, 1957, the Butler county Board of Supervisors appointed 5 county residents to the new board.
In it’s first year, the Conservation Board purchased a total of 52 acres in two different locations. In 1958, a third area was acquired and a parks maintenance worker was hired at a rate of $15 per day.
By 1974, the Conservation Board managed 9 areas and the dam and powerhouse at Greene. With more work than could be done by the board members, the first full-time executive director was hired.
Today, the Butler County Conservation Board manages 24 areas that contain nearly 1,900 acres of land and employs 4 full-time employees and 2 part-time summer employees.
