The AACD supports Districts through four main categories: Local Resource Assessment & Planning, Conservation Research & Education, Conservation Technical & Financial Assistance, and Coordination & Cooperation.
The programs within each category help Districts fund and support the conservation practices needed to conserve Arizona’s unique landscape, sustain our wildlife habitats and watersheds, and support sustainable agricultural production.

AACD received a two-year, $100,000 Environmental Education grant from the EPA. This grant money supports Arizona’s Conservation Districts and their Education Centers participating in this effort to share environmental education through the state. “Cultivating Our Future Agricultural Leaders and Model Stewards of the Land” is an educational project with our partners at the Arizona Association of Environmental Education, Arizona Wildlife Federation, and the National Wildlife Federation. Project supporters include the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Arizona Food Bank Network, General Motors, and Kroger.
