The Logan County Soil and Water Conservation District was established on January 26, 1953. Soil & Water Conservation Districts were established under the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District Act in l937, and although a SWCD is a governmental body, it is not a branch of federal, state, or county government. Each District is classified as a "local unit of government". The Act gives SWCD's the responsibility to provide technical information to individuals and groups on methods of soil and water conservation, and provide natural resource inventory information on properties slated for zoning changes. The District is governed by a five-member board of directors who are responsible for the conservation and wise use of our natural resources. Districts have no taxing authority. Funding is provided in part by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA). Our District offers several programs which supplement IDOA funding. The additional funding is utilized for operation expenses and education programs.
