Bernie Spozio, the District's Erosion & Sediment Technician since 2009 retired from that position May 20th. Bernie has been involved in resource conservation in Clarion County for over 40 years. Most of his career was spent with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service formerly the Soil Conservation Service. He retired from NRCS as a Supervisory District Conservationist in 2008. Bernie is a founding member of the Alliance for Wetlands and Wildlife, a watershed organization responsible for the development of the Beaver Creek Nature Area near Knox. The recreational site is home to over 900 acres of mixed habitat. Several ponds provide great fishing for the locals as well as an excellent site for bird watching and viewing migrating waterfowl. Bernie intends to continue his community involvement in watershed organizations and enjoy his favorite past times, hunting and fishing. A retirement celebration was held in his honor at the May District meeting.

Our Mission...
Art Forrest, Director
From its inception in 1935, the Clarion Conservation District’s goals have been farm conservation planning and promoting wise land use. Over the years, meeting the needs of the residents of Clarion County has expanded the role of the District into areas of water quality, erosion and sediment control, environmental education, dirt and gravel road maintenance and nutrient management. The duties delegated by the State Conservation Commission are administered by a volunteer board of directors. The board members, a vital part of this organization, offer years of experience in agriculture, business, science, technology, education and public policy.
