Who We Are |
| |
|
SWCDs are a political
subdivision of state government. The Elkhart County SWCD has five
supervisors and five associate supervisors. Programs and activities
of the SWCD are overseen by the supervisors. Three supervisors are elected
at the Annual Meeting and two are appointed by the State Soil Conservation Board
based on recommendations made by the SWCD. The Elkhart County SWCD is a
county department that is staffed by five employees. Along with the
county staff, this office has a NRCS district conservationist.
The purpose of the
Elkhart County SWCD is to provide the public with information about soil, water,
and related natural resource conservation. We also identify local soil and
water concerns and connect landowners to educational, technical and financial
assistance to implement conservation practices.
The Elkhart County
SWCD board of supervisors meet the third Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in
the Extension Conference room on the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds. Board
meetings are open to the public.

2008 Affiliate Members |
|
Affiliate membership monies are used for
educational and informational programs that are an important part of
keeping the public informed about and involved in Elkhart County soil
and water conservation.
The Elkhart County SWCD supervisors, associate
supervisors, and staff appreciate all our affiliates for the 2007 year.
Without the added income from our affiliate members, we would find it
difficult to maintain our programs. Thank you to each individual and
business for this helping hand. |
