Overview Presentation
The Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a subdivision of local government. The district receives its statutory authority from Indiana District Law (Indiana Code IC 14-32-5-1). It is a public body which exercises public powers.
Along with our regional partners, we assist the citizens of East Central Indiana in the improvement, and wise use of soil, water, and related natural resources.
To learn more about our organization and recent accomplishments, please watch the overview presentation developed in 2023.
