What do we do?

Working together
We work in cooperation with private landowners to conserve natural resources today and for future generations.
Who do we work with?
If you are a private landowner, you are our primary focus! Private landowners can use natural resources in ways that help conserve them for others, or in ways that deplete or harm these resources. Part of our mission is to help people become better stewards of the natural resources they manage.
We are not regulators
We do not have statutory authority to issue regulations or cite people. Soil and water conservation districts were formed to work with willing landowners to help conserve our renewable natural resources. This is what we mean when we say we work cooperatively with private landowners.
Our work benefits public resources
Unlike most governmental entities, we are charged with helping to conserve natural resources by working on public and private lands. Our conservation work primarily benefits public natural resources and may provide incidental benefits to participating landowners.
Please contact us if you would like to learn more. We will be happy to discuss your questions and needs.
