What is the Butler SWCD?

The Butler Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) was organized in May of 1942 by concerned landowners interested in protecting and improving the soil and water resources of the county.  The District is a subdivision of the state of Ohio, and is assisted by the Butler County Commissioners, the Ohio Soil & Water Conservation Commission, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources through the Division of Soil and Water Conservation.  Technical assistance for conservation practices is provided without charge by the Butler SWCD through the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Conservation Service (NRCS) personnel.  The objectives of the Butler SWCD include:

  1. Reduce soil erosion loss on both urban and agricultural lands.
  2. Improve water quality by serving as a resource base for water quality data and educating the public concerning storm water management and erosion control.
  3. To increase both the rural and urban communities' awareness of the value, need, and ways of conserving our natural resources.
  4. Promote woodland and wildlife management by local landowners.
  5. Conduct a strong informational and educational program in the schools and with the general public.
  6. Provide adequate funding, personnel and equipment to meet the future needs of district operations.

Please join us at the next Board Meeting, held the third Tuesday of the month at 1 p.m. at the Butler SWCD office.
