Rooted in Conservation Since 1961

As a Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), our role is to maintain and improve the natural resources of the county. We are a State agency that operates at a local level collaborating directly with residents to enhance the landscape and benefit the wider community. 

A Mission Towards Progress: We are your partners in protecting, restoring and enhancing the natural resources of Carlton County.

Conservation isn't just simply planting trees or managing erosion when troubles arise. It requires a planned approach with a focus on improvement over time by working with the landscape.
