Utah Association of Conservation Districts offers continuing education modules that can be used to teach supervisors and staff the basic operations of conservation districts. The modules are available on-line at uacd.org and through the zone coordinators.

The intent of these modules is to have educational materials available on an on-going basis to conduct in-house training at district board meetings. The modules may also be used as self-taught packages and may be especially useful when new conservation district officials are elected or new staff members are hired. Each module should take 15-30 minutes to complete. 

In addition to these training modules, UACD and the Utah Department of Agriculture & Food provide a “Utah Conservation Handbook” to all newly elected or appointed supervisors. This self-guided handbook includes a 13-minute orientation video, a “Little Manual” from the Utah State Auditor’s Office and other basic information.
