Benton Soil and Water Conservation District

The mission of Benton SWCD is to engage Benton County residents in the conservation and stewardship of natural resources for current and future generations.

Benton SWCD is one of 45 conservation districts in Oregon working to put conservation efforts on the ground. The results include cleaner water, improved crop land, pastures, forests, and restored wildlife habitat.

Our vision is that the land, waters, and forests of Benton County will be healthy and resilient through the care and effort of everyone in our community, and that the benefits of conservation will be equitably shared.  

Partner Category

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Those who experience the outdoors and wildlife first-hand become its greatest conservationists.  We partner with these groups to foster their love of wildlife and conservation.
