Southern Conservation District Serving Fayette, McDowell, Mercer, Raleigh, Summers, and Wyoming counties

Established in August of 1944, the mission of the Southern Conservation District is to provide local self-government leadership and initiative in the development and conservation of soil, water and related resources. A balanced planning, education and management program that protects, restores, and improves those resources will be accomplished in cooperation with landowners, government agencies and private organizations.
