Mission
to provide the administration of programs to conserve soil and improve water quality and quantity on private lands in Alachua County.
Established by the Florida Legislature, Alachua Soil & Water Conservation District, a governmental subdivision of the State of Florida, was established October 9, 1950 under Florida Statutes 582 by local residents for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the wise use, management and general conservation of the County’s soil, water and related natural resources. The District is committed to preserving and enhancing the quality of life in Alachua County through conservation of its natural resources.
