Statement of Function
The Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District (IRSWCD) was organized for the purpose of developing a program of management and conservation of the soil, water and related natural resources of the County, and to promote and encourage the voluntary implementation of conservation practices on privately owned land. A locally elected board of non-salaried public officials governs the District. The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) provides office space, some equipment, supplies, and salaries for a Staff Assistant II. The District works in cooperation with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA/NRCS).
Mission Statement
The Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District’s (IRSWCD) mission is to provide natural resources planning and assessment as well as assisting citizens to apply conservation and preservation technology, and to educate the citizens, small groups, and units of government in these technologies.
