Members


The official governing body of a soil and water conservation district consists of 5 supervisors - 3 are elected (1 each year for a 3-year term) at an annual meeting of land occupiers held during the first quarter of the year. Additionally, 2 supervisors are appointed (also for 3-year staggered terms) by the State Soil Conservation Board based upon recommendations of the leadership of the local soil and water district.

Actions

  • Document and seek funding for programs and additional qualified staff.
  • Identify training needs and develop training for staff and board.
