Hand Tools
Tool & Equipment Lending Library
The WCCD Hand Tools Lending Library is designed to make various tools and implements accessible to local producers and landowners. Tools in the rental program are designed for conservation purposes.
The Hand Tools can be reserved individually or multiple at once, as available. Renters are required to fill out the Hand Tool Renter Contract (PDF) upon receiving the the tools, and cleaning / damage fees will be incurred as necessary according to the contract terms.
The "Extractigator" is shown here with some of it's casualties and their entire root systems!

Pick-up & Drop-off of Hand Tools:
When you come to pick-up the tools, we have a Hand Tool Renter Contract (PDF) for you to fill out. Most tools are free to borrow, some have an associated rental fee. All payments for rentals fees, damage or cleaning fees, will be made when the tool is returned. We accept cash, check, or credit cards.
To accommodate back-to-back reservations, the hand tools pick ups must be in the afternoon (1 pm - 4 pm) on the start date, and dropped off in the morning (9 am - 12 pm) on end date or earlier, unless otherwise arranged. Reservations must start/end when our office is open, no weekends or federal holidays.
The tools will be available at the Washtenaw County Conservation District office:
