Mission
To provide guidance and education to the youth and adults of St. Joseph County and to administer programs to preserve, protect and improve soil, water, air, plant and animal resources for future generations.

A Soil and Water Conservation District ("SWCD") is an independent, legal subdivision of state government, funded by state, local and private contributions. SWCD’s are responsible for administering the natural resource management programs for the county in which they are located. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (“NRCS”) serves as a technical advisor to each SWCD as well as sharing resources such as office space, vehicles and equipment. There are 92 conservation districts in Indiana. The St. Joseph County SWCD is a local unit of state government responsible for the conservation and development of our soil, water, and related natural resources through  education, public information, leadership, technical  assistance, and development of innovative programs. The St. Joseph County SWCD was formed in 1959 by a referendum.
