Welcome to PACD!

PACD encompasses the southern half of Wyoming's Fremont County


The Popo Agie Conservation District (PACD) was formed in 1942 in response to the Dust Bowl Era of the 1930s. At the time the district was created, a national movement was taking place to provide local leadership to address soil erosion concerns. In addition to soil erosion, the Popo Agie Conservation District now addresses many current natural resource issues including water quality and watershed planning, water quantity, land use planning, agriculture, and conservation education.
