Why CONSERVATION?

Soil and water are recognized as our basic natural resources.  The way we manage these and their products--plants and animals--is important in determining our present and future welfare.

Conservation and wise use of soil and moisture on croplands, grasslands and woodlands is the key to keeping our land productive, our people healthy, and our Nation strong and beautiful.

How well this is done doesn't depend entirely on land owners and operators; we all have a share in conservation. 

Mecklenburg Soil and Water Conservation District understands that without the adequate knowledge, these natural resources will quickly diminish.
