The mission of the Mifflin County Conservation District is to conserve the county’s natural resources through coordinated and professional guidance, technical assistance, and education to the landowners, public agencies, and residents of Mifflin County.

We are growing! The MCCD welcomes new staff in 2025...
The MCCD welcomes our new Agriculture Resource Conservationist, Jenna Dunk! Jenna graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Animal Science. She has a background in crop farming and animal agriculture. Outside of work, Jenna enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and helping on her family farm. She raises a herd of goats and various poultry. Jenna is looking forward to applying her knowledge and passion to support agricultural conservation efforts in Mifflin County.

The MCCD welcomes our new Administrative Assistant, Wendy Smith! Wendy received an Associate Degree from Thompson Institute, Harrisburg in Business Administration with a focus in accounting. A lot of her work experience comes from working for general contractors in the Harrisburg area processing their accounts payable. But she also worked in the public sector for CalState University and the Mifflin County School District switching gears from processing payments to tracking department budgets. The various positions held gave her the financial and clerical skills needed to keep any office running smoothly on the administrative side of things. She is looking forward to putting her experience to use in the MCCD office. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling and growing her flower garden.

The MCCD welcomes our new Resource Conservationist, Kaylyn Walters! Kaylyn graduated from Juniata College with a degree in Wildlife Conservation. She has a love for turtles and everything outdoors. Outside of work you can often find her running, lifting at the gym, or playing field hockey. When the season is right she can also be found hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and kayaking. She is looking forward to making a difference in the community around us, and everything downstream.
