The Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee (ALSWCC) is an executive department of the State of Alabama created by statute in 1939.  The mission of ALSWCC is to encourage conservation on private lands by:

• Supporting Soil and Water Conservation Districts in local conservation efforts
• Coordinating programs to conserve Alabama’s natural resources
• Securing the cooperation and assistance of Federal Partners on matters of conservation
• Educating about conservation throughout the state of Alabama

Local Soil and Water Conservations Districts (SWCDs) are state entities located in each county who work locally through volunteer supervisors, landowners, and local staff to protect Alabama’s natural resources. The United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)  is the primary federal partner and provides America’s farmers and ranchers with financial and technical assistance to voluntarily put conservation on the ground, not only helping the environment but agricultural operations, too.

Private Lands …Public Benefits

ALSWCC, local SWCDs and NRCS work with the private landowners of Alabama to protect soil and water resources for the benefit of all citizens of Alabama. These working lands comprise 95% of our total acreage and produce much more than food and fiber. Public benefits include clean water, clean air, reforestation, wildlife habitat improvement, recreation and open space enhancements that contribute to the quality of life for all Alabama citizens

For nearly 80 years, the Soil and Water Conservation Committee has committed to conserving Alabama’s natural resources by connecting those who use and work the land to the education, technical know-how, and resources they need.

We work to promote healthy soil, fishable and drinkable water, sustainable forests, and clean air to cultivate a prosperous farming industry and improve quality of life for all Alabama citizens.
