The Knox County SWCD was formed July 27, 1944, under the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law of 1937. The District is governed by an elected five-member board; each Director serves a two-year term. The Board meets publicly, once per month, to conduct all District public business affairs. The District has two employees that conduct business for landowners, occupiers, and producers within the County, including Municipalities. The Knox County SWCD is a stand-alone, independent form of local government; it is not part of any Municipality governance, nor does it operate under the authority of the Knox County Board.?
A key mission of the District is to provide information and resources to students, businesses, communities, and the general public about the importance of protecting and conserving Illinois' natural resources.
