What Are Soil and Water Conservation Districts?

Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) are legally defined as subdivisions of state government, but they function as local units.  In Oregon, there are 45 SWCDs working to put conservation efforts on the ground.  The results include cleaner water, improved crop land, pastures, forests and restored wildlife habitat.

The Benton SWCD's Mission

To provide leadership to Benton County residents through education and technical assistance for conservation and responsible use and management of soil, water and related resources.
