Additional Help
While the Lawrence County Conservation District is able to assist with a wide range of environmental topics, there are some areas in which we seek outside agency’s knowledge and assistance. Below is a spreadsheet diagramming the general environmental topics and a contact for the appropriate agency.
Please note that in the event of an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number first. Additionally, this list is not meant to be all inclusive. It was developed only to serve as a guide for your convience.
