Guilford Soil & Water Conservation District

Guilford Soil & Water Conservation District The district provides technical assistance to landowners and educational programs on soil and water quality.

The Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a governmental subdivision
of the State of North Carolina, charged with the responsibility of promoting soil and water
conservation and establishing conservation programs in the District. The District partners
with the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) to carry out these responsibilities. As a local organization, we work with

citizens, agencies, and landowners to plan and direct
programs for the conservation and development of our natural resources. We work closely
with other state, federal, and local agencies, such as NC Department of Agriculture, NC Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, NC Forest Service, NC Cooperative Extension,
etc. to provide effective natural resource management and environmental education.
