ORANGE COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Welcome to the Orange County Soil & Water Conservation District's website.  Here you can discover some useful information regarding environmental conservation in Orange County, NY.  Click through the tabs at the top of the page to see what kind of projects and programs we are involved in.  Feel free to contact us with any questions using the Contact Us tab.

The District was created in 1967 by a resolution from the County Legislature, with a mission to protect the natural resources of Orange County, particularly our soil and water. Originally, almost all of the District's work was with the agricultural community.  As the county has grown and the landscape has changed over the years, our services have expanded and we now provide conservation assistance to municipalities and landowners as well as farmers.
