Tool Loan Program

We're revamping our tool loan program! The new program will launch soon with more equipment and easier check out process! Check back soon!

The purpose of the tool loan program is to make available tools and resources to help Hamilton County residents achieve their conservation goals. The tools are able to be loaned out to Hamilton County residents for individual or group work days on public or private lands in Hamilton County.

General Tool Loan Guidelines:
Loan period

The standard loan period is 10 days. You can select check loan length through the myTurn system. We ask that you only reserve items for the shortest amount of time needed. You are welcome to return items early.

Reservations and extensions

You can reserve tools for future dates through the myTurn system. This may be especially help for tools needed for group work days or planned project installations.
After 50% of your loan period has passed, you can extend your loan through the myTurn system if there are no conflicting upcoming reservations.

Late fees

You are required to have a credit card on file to complete a registration or check out. Overdue items will start to accrue late fees of $5/business day/item after a 2 day grace period.
