ABOUT US
Soil and Water Conservation Districts exist in every county in the United States.
Established after the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, our goal is to enhance the natural resources of
Jefferson County to ensure the economic safety of agricultural producers in the area.
Although established by the government, we are not a regulatory agency
or an environmental activist group. YOU elect our Board.
