- General Info
- A Soil and Water Conservation District ( "SWCD" ) is an independent, legal subdivision of state government, funded by state, local and private contributions. They are responsible for administering the natural resource management programs for the county in which they are located. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service ( formerly the Soil Conservation Service ) 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. See the newly revised "What is a SWCD" brochure" ( Marion County SWCD ) and see our recent news release on this same topic. Come see what we do! The public is encouraged to attend our monthly board meetings, held at 3: 30pm on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Occasionally, we will move the time up or back to accommodate other district business. To find out about this month's meeting, please call Marilyn Hughes at 317-786-1776.
