To The
IDAHO COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT HOMEPAGE
The Idaho County Soil & Water Conservation District is a subdivision of State Government charged with the stewardship of the conservation of soil, water, and related natural resources on Idaho's private land. We are one of 51 Conservation Districts in Idaho, and together encompasses 99% of our state.
The SWCD was originally formed in the eastern part of the county, February 2, 1954 and included 25,000 acres of farmland along the Clearwater River. In 1956, the Salmon River SCD was formed in the southwestern part of Idaho County and the Prairie SCD (mainly the Camas Prairie) was formed in 1961. These three Districts merged into one SWCD in 1969 and is now known as the Idaho County Soil & Water Conservation District.
It is the goal of the Idaho County SWCD to set high standards for conservation of our natural resources within our District. It is our hope that through knowledge and cooperation, all landowners, government agencies, private organizations and elected officials can ensure an adequate natural resource base for present and future generations in the Idaho County Soil & Water Conservation District.
