About US
Since 1955, the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District (LSWCD) works to enhance and protect the quality of soil, water, and other natural resources related to agricultural, forested, urban, and rural lands across Lincoln County, Oregon. By building diverse coalitions of stakeholders and community partners, providing high quality education and technical assistance, as well as designing and implementing habitat restoration projects on working lands, the District offers science-based solutions to manage, protect, and improve natural resources for future generations. Our conservation goals are based on guidelines set forth in the Mid-Coast Agricultural Water Quality Area Plan (as administered by the Oregon Department of Agriculture), the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Nonpoint Source Pollution Reduction Program, the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, and the Oregon Conservation Strategy. LSWCD, like the other 44 Soil & Water Conservation Districts across the State, is a non-regulatory government agency established by State Legislature for the purpose of supporting natural resources in cooperation with private landowners on a voluntary basis.
