The Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District was formed in 1941 to assist the farmers in applying conservation practices and improving their land. Just a few years later the District was actively promoting conservation cropping systems, contour farming, crop residue use, pasture and woodland improvements, grassed waterways, farm ponds and drainage improvements.
Mission
Partner and lead other government agencies, private landowners and users, and the public in promoting voluntary, non-regulatory, locally-led conservation and wise stewardship of the natural resources with which our area has been so richly blessed.
If you are a farmer, rancher, private landowner, or community partner who has a soil/water concern, we can help. We are a public service that is a sub-division of the state. We work directly with the Idaho Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) locally to provide technical and educational assistance to Kootenai-Shoshone. We specialize in coordinating and channeling the correct expertise for your property needs. We do this through our extensive partnership at all levels of government.
