How we work with you
We work with people in the county to protect natural resources. We help landowners and community partners care for soil, water, and land in ways that can last for many years.
We also help people become better caretakers of the natural resources on their property. The District’s projects focus on making the county a place where communities, the environment, and the economy can all grow and succeed together.
If protecting natural resources is important to you, and you value our cooperative and non-regulatory approach, we encourage you to get involved.
History
In 1939, the Oregon Legislature established conservation districts in Oregon. Conservation districts were charged with directing programs to protect local, renewable natural resources.
The Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District has served the community for 52 years.
