Soil and water conservation districts are designed to deliver a local program, based on local needs, that best conserves and promotes the wise and judicious use of renewable natural resources. In addition, they work to activate the efforts of public and private organizations and agencies into a united front to combat soil and water erosion and to enhance water quality and quantity in the state.

Among other things, conservation districts help:

• implement farm conservation practices to keep soil in the fields and out of waterways;
• conserve and restore wetlands, which purify water and provide habitat for birds, fish and numerous other animals.
• protect groundwater resources;
• plant trees and other land cover to hold soil in place, clean the air, provide cover for wildlife and beautify neighborhoods;
• help developers and homeowners manage the land in an environmentally sensitive manner; and
• reach out to communities and schools to teach the value of natural resources and encourage conservation efforts.
