Natural Resources Conservation

The Huntington County Soil and Water Conservation District is a sub-division of the State Government, operating as a Department of Huntington County Government. With a mission to educate and assist the citizens of the county in the wise use of conservation practices, their aim is to protect the soil, water quality, and other natural resources.

Through their various programs and grants, such as the Conservation Reserve Programs and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the Huntington County SWCD works towards implementing Best Management Practices for both agricultural and urban conservation. They also play a vital role in reducing pollutants, particularly sediment, in stormwater discharges into surface waters of the state through their Rule 5 Erosion Control Program.
