What We Do
We support our state’s 84 conservation districts in the ever-increasing demand for responsible care of Oklahoma’s natural resources. We’re researchers, practitioners, implementers and advocates who are passionate about providing technical and financial assistance, accurate data and engaging educational experiences all with the common goal to conserve the renewable natural resources of our state and help fill the conservation advocacy pipeline.
COMMISSIONERS
Commissioners represent one of five Areas of the state. The 84 Conservation Districts in Oklahoma are divided into these five areas.
Executive Director
Trey Lam entered service as executive director on November 17, 2014. Lam is a lifelong conservationist who has served on the Garvin Conservation District board and as President of the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts.
OUR HISTORY
In April 1937, Oklahoma passed the Conservation District Enabling Act, which gave citizens the opportunity to form their own conservation districts and created the agency now known as the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.

The staff of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC or Commission) is proposing new permanent rules to supersede emergency rules in a new chapter of OAC 155 to implement 82 O.S. § 1085.65 which requires the OCC to promulgate rules to receive, and review applications for water quality projects submitted to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program for implementation of nonpoint source management programs as allowed by the federal Water Quality Act of 1987 for those activities subject to its jurisdiction as specified in the Oklahoma Environmental Quality Act. This rule specifies the process for such receipt and review.
Chapter 30. Carbon Sequestration Certification Program
The Oklahoma Conservation Commission is authorized under Oklahoma Administrative Code Title 155 to implement 27A O.S. § 3-4-101 thru 3-4-105, which authorizes the Commission to establish and administer a carbon sequestration certification program. The purpose of the permanent rules is to provide the structure of the program and to outline the requirements for voluntary participation in the program. Emergency rules went into effect July 3, 2008. Permanent rules went into effect July 1, 2009.
