Mission...

To Clear our water by treating every acre with respect

JCSWCD

The Johnson County Soil & Water Conservation District is made up of five locally elected residents of Johnson County who serve as volunteers. They provide local program guidance to solve natural resource problems within the district. Professional staff is provided by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), Division of Soil Conservation (DSC) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). In Johnson County the Board of Supervisors contributed funds for a County Soil and Water Conservationist position.
