Wood SWCD
Board of Supervisors
L to R: Lee Sundermeier, Bernie Scott, Ron Snyder, Dennis Ferrell, and Kris Swartz
Why they choose to serve?
Serving on the Wood SWCD board is voluntary. Each board member shares a genuine concern for the protection and conservation of our local soil and water resources. Each member considers this position an opportunity to share ideas, provide solutions, implement projects, and educate the community to benefit not only the county residents but the entire region.
The district supervisors and staff work locally but think regionally. Western Lake Erie Basin does not stop at the water’s edge. The Wood SWCD partners with other districts, local farmers, county residents, and local private entities to promote conservation practices from ag to urban communities. Look for educational activities, workshops, field days, and media of interest to you. Take an active part in conservation right where you live. We are here to help.

The Wood SWCD staff pulls from a diverse background of education and experience to provide county residents with conservation information and resources. We help landowners address water quality and soil health issues on all sizes of properties, from urban house lots to large farm operations, and provide education programs for all ages. The staff also stays current on changes in state and federal regulations, and participates in ongoing development programs to make sure we provide the best services possible to Wood County residents, and protect the natural resources that northwest Ohio is known for.
