The Page County Conservation
Board (PCCB) was established in 1957. The Conservation Board consists of
five county residents, from different regions of the county, appointed by the
County Supervisors. Board members serve staggered five year terms. These
appointed members donate their time and work with the PCCB staff to further
conservation within Page County. The PCCB currently manages seven county
areas and twenty-seven miles of the Wabash Trace Nature Trail. The PCCB is
also responsible for environmental education throughout the county.
