Redwood Soil & Water Conservation District

Redwood Soil & Water Conservation District The Redwood SWCD works with landowners in both rural and urban settings to carry out a program for the conservation of our soil and water resources.

Redwood Soil and Water Conservation District was established in January, 1953. Citizens of Redwood County were concerned about soil erosion by wind and water and its affect on water quality. Since the district's inception, many refer to us as 'Redwood SWCD'. The district was authorized as a result of the state legislature passing the Minnesota Soil Conservation District Law in 1937. The law enable

d farmers to organize for conservation purposes and gave them the power to enter into legal agreements and provide financial aid to landowners. Other powers and duties granted to districts include:

•Legal subdivisions of the state which can exercise public powers.

•May carry soil and water conservation measures on any lands in the district with the consent of the landowners.

•May cooperate or enter into agreements with any governmental agency or individual landowner for the purpose of carrying on a program of erosion prevention and control.

Earth Day—a day to reflect on the natural resources that make Minnesota’s outdoor spaces so beautiful, diverse and deeply woven into who we are.

Minnesota’s natural resources are more than scenic treasures. They sustain our communities, support our economy, and preserve the quality of life that makes our state special.

For nearly 90 years, Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) across America have partnered with people to deliver voluntary, locally led conservation solutions. Here in Minnesota, with nearly one district in every county, SWCDs share a simple but powerful mission: equip local landowners with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to care for their land.
