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 70, 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), Idaho Soil and Water Conservation Commission (ISWCC), 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.
