Soil & Water Stewardship

In 2017, Georgia’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts led and directed federal programs that invested over $44,000,000 in federal funds in conservation projects across the state. Without local Districts these federal funds could not be placed in Georgia.

DeKalb SWCD has its own Board of Directors, with elected and appointed officials. These volunteer members are responsible for promoting the conservation of soil, water, forestry, wildlife and other natural resources throughout DeKalb County. In addition, the Supervisors promote conservation education through youth and adult education programs,  and provide citizens and local government with technical assistance related to erosion control and sedimentation prevention.
