The Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District helps:

• Implement farm, ranch and forestland conservation practices to protect soil productivity, water quality and quantity, air quality and wildlife habitat;
• Conserve and restore wetlands, which purify water and provide habitat for birds, fish and other animals;
• Protect groundwater resources;
• Assist communities and homeowners in planting trees and other land cover to hold soil in place, clean the air, provide cover for wildlife, and beautify neighborhoods;
• Help developers control soil erosion and protect water and air quality during construction; and
• Reach out to communities and schools to teach the value of natural resources and encourage conservation efforts.

Seminole’s Soil and Water Conservation District works with community groups, homeowners associations, and local governments to help educate in the areas of conservation and in the best practices for the preservation of our natural resources.

We offer educational programs and materials that help people conserve the natural resources that make Seminole County the beautiful location that drew so many of us to this area. We offer advice and can provide materials that help residents make good choices in landscaping that are both Water-Wise and beautiful. We can also offer information about ways to conserve water inside and outside the home.
