"Working Together for Healthy Soil and Clean Water"
Soil and Water Conservation districts are local units of government that develop, manage, and direct natural resource programs at the local level.  The Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District, which has been in existence since 1977, has been providing county residents assistance for over 40 years.

Please explore our website and consider becoming an active member of your District.
