Care for our Natural Resources

 "Past, Present and Future of Conservation Districts"

Our History

The Wood County Soil Conservation District was chartered July 8, 1949. 

Dedicated to the care of the environment through responsible land and water policies, conservation practices, development, oversight and environmental education.

Our Vision
