Texas Soil and Water Conservation Districts
Soil and Water Conservation Districts
and State Zones
(To find a specific SWCD, visit the SWCD locator map.)
Locally Governed
A soil and water conservation district, like a county or school district, is a subdivision of state government. The program and plan of work of the district is developed according to the local needs of the district.
Landowner Operated
A soil and water conservation district is brought into existence by a vote of the landowners within the boundaries of a district. It is administered by a board of five directors who are elected by their fellow landowners.
