2021 election results and annual meeting Report

As of May 18th, 2021, the Midland Conservation District is excited to welcome two new board members;  Kevin Mudd and Amy Klopf! Kevin was re-elected to to a full term and works for the Midland Road Commission, while Amy works as  a teacher for Coleman Elementary School. We look forward to working with them in the next four years; we appreciate their interest in the success of the District, and we thank them in advance for their time, energy and investment as they serve the District. Conservation Districts are led by locally elected boards, and the interest and commitment of dedicated individuals from the community is critical to our continued success.
