ODA Soil and Water Conservation District Boundaries

<p>Oregon's Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) are special districts which provide for the conservation of the renewable resources of the state. They work with local landowners and residents, natural resource organizations, natural resource users, and local, state, and the federal government to conserve natural resources, control and prevent soil erosion, conserve and develop water resources and water quality, preserve wildlife, conserve natural beauty, and promote collaborative conservation efforts to protect and enhance healthy watershed functions. SWCDs in Oregon are governed by an independently elected board of directors.</p>
