As a result of the Dust Bowl in the 1930’s, legislation was passed that eventually resulted in the creation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Ohio.
The agency’s goal is to work with landowners to prevent erosion that may result in the sedimentation of local watersheds.
The Washington Soil and Water Conservation District works with landowners and the federal government to inventory resources, educate, and develop services that are provided free or at low costs to the public.
