What is a Soil & Water Conservation District?

Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) are located in each county or borough in New York State.


SWCDs are governed locally by a Board of Directors.
Authorized under state law, SWCDs are special purpose districts created to develop and carry out a program of soil, water and related natural resource conservation, by providing technical assistance and programs to residents, landowners and units of government.
