FY 27 Proposed Operating Budget

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES

ORIGIN & PURPOSE: Conservation of Natural Resources is a budgetary grouping of environmentally oriented programs, the services of which are provided to County Government by symbolic agencies acting on the County's behalf. For example, the Harford County Cooperative Extension derives its authority from the University of Maryland at College Park, and the Harford County Soil Conservation District from the State of Maryland under the direction of the District Board of Supervisors. Each of these programs and related activities contribute to the conservation of natural resources, and the preservation of the environment in Harford County, and merits the financial support and consideration of County Government and its residents.
