The Mission of the Itasca County Soil and
Water Conservation District (SWCD) is to provide a local organization

state and federal agencies can cooperate to improve, develop and
conserve soil, water, wildlife and recreational resources.
The SWCD will encourage adoption of proper land use practices as needed,
recognizing that these measures are essential for maintenace of
permanent and prosperous natural resource-based industries in Itasca
County.
