In 1937, Indiana joined states across the nation in forming soil and water conservation districts to provide local leadership in carrying out soil and water conservation programs. The Indiana Conservation Act (IC 14-32) established Indiana’s soil and Water Conservation Districts, which are chartered, legal subdivisions of State Government. The Clinton County SWCD was organized through a public referendum held March 27, 1967.
Since that time, the CCSWCD has provided the local leadership to assist county residents to conserve land, water, forests, wildlife and related natural resources. This has been accomplished by coordinating assistance from available sources – public and private, local, state and federal – in an effort to develop locally driven solutions to natural resource concerns.
