Each fall, MACD attends meetings for each of Montana’s six Conservation District Areas. At these meetings, neighboring conservation districts, MACD area directors, staff, and partners get together to discuss issues facing their areas, programs the districts are implementing, proposed resolutions, election of MACD Area Directors, and more. The locations of the area meetings rotate each year based on alphabetical order of the districts within an area. View the 2021 Meeting Calendar
Please note: Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 have made the decision to hold in-person meetings with a hybrid/virtual option for the entirety of their meetings. Area 5 has chosen to go 100% virtual.
