The Columbiana Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a legal entity of the State of Ohio and is administered by a five-member, elected Board of Supervisors. These Board members make important decisions regarding conservation within the county and set the direction for the District Staff. The District works cooperatively with other county agencies, local officials, and conservation groups. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service works with the District by offering assistance to producers within the county. Each of the 88 Ohio counties has its own SWCD, and funding is obtained through the County Commissioners, the State of Ohio, grants, and donations. The individual Soil and Water Conservation Districts within the state serve the varying needs of the county in which they are located. The Columbiana SWCD serves the residents of Columbiana County by providing many quality services. The District works with the local community to increase the awareness and appreciation of the county’s valuable natural resources.

Between the Hellbender Partnership meeting and the Neighbors of the Stream film screening, yesterday was all about hellbenders.

THANK YOU to everyone that participated, showed your support, and asked questions!! We are incredibly grateful for the community support here in Columbiana County, not only for the hellbenders but for environmental conservation in general.

As always, if we can support you in implementing environmental conservation practices, please contact us!

Thank you to Birds in Flight Sanctuary for inviting us to participate in the Greatest Outdoor Adventure this past Saturday!

Not only did we get to enjoy a beautiful day talking with everyone about wetlands and water quality, but we also were able to take some time to visit with some of the sanctuary residents.

Pictured here is Kevin, a turkey vulture that imprinted on humans. He's been a resident since 2016.
