Our Story
Sandusky County Soil & Water Conservation District
Offering The Best Conservation Practices Since 1948...
Established in 1948, Sandusky County Soil & Water Conservation District was formed as the 62nd conservation district in Ohio. The district serves as a liaison between private landowners and federal agencies.
Our Mission
We envision a county that provides adequate drainage for both rural and urban residents while at the same time ensuring water and soil quality. In order to provide food and health for future generations and also to ensure a robust environment, we must protect our valuable natural resources.
Our Vision
To promote and enhance the efficient use of our natural resources and the preservation of our environment.
Our Goals
To provide the highest quality services and programs in Sandusky County:
– We want to assist local livestock/grain crop producers on how to manage nutrients on their farms. The district and partners will provide technical assistance with nutrient management planning and best management practice implementation on the land.
– We want to promote and utilize conservation farming practices to improve water quality and soil health in Sandusky County/Western Lake Erie Basin. By promoting conservation programs and practices we can help reduce runoff of sediment/nutrients from farm land and urban areas that could potentially end up in our waterways.
– We want to promote, implement and improve drainage and water quality on agricultural lands, as well as design tile plans for land owners/producers as needed.
