About PSWCD

The Portneuf Soil and Water Conservation District is a subgroup of state government  that is directed by an elected board of supervisors and volunteer associates. The District was organized on May 18, 1940  to assist in developing and implementing soil erosion control programs on a local level.  The District, now at the age of 69, promotes conservation and protection of our natural resources and  has a strong emphasis on  conservation education  programs for people of all ages. The Board meets monthly to discuss conservation issues, to implement conservation projects, and conduct District business.

The District is funded by the state and local government, and uses their funding for conservation and education programs, to identify  local natural resource conservation needs, and to provide services to land owners.

There is one District employee, but the Board and  employee do not work alone.  They work directly with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts (IASCD),  Soil Conservation Commission (SCC), and other agencies and partners. The District also works in cooperation with the cities and Bannock County.
 
The District publishes a newsletter  every two months,  and tours and educational sessions are sponsored by the Board to help inform landowners and other citizens of programs that are available to help conserve the land and water.
