SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT

The Mission of Lenoir Soil & Water Conservation District is to empower a sustainable future for our community, one acre at a time. We strive to preserve, protect, and promote the wise use of Lenoir County’s natural resources through innovative conservation practices, education, and collaboration to ensure a healthy and thriving environment for generations to come. Lenoir Soil & Water Conservation District partners with local, state, and federal agencies to assist and educate the citizens of Lenoir County.
 
The Lenoir Soil & Water Conservation District facilitates streamflow rehabilitation & debris removal programs and the county beaver management program, but focuses primarily on implementation of the following NCDA & CS Division of Soil and Water cost share programs:
  • Ag Cost Share Program (ACSP) – for water quality related natural resource concerns in agriculture
  • Ag Water Resource Assistance Program (AgWRAP) – for water quantity related natural resource concerns in agriculture
  • Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP) – for non-agricultural natural resource concerns
Please visit https://www.ncagr.gov/divisions/soil-water-conservation/programs-initiatives for details on the Best Management Practices (BMPs) available for each of the Division cost share programs or contact Lenoir Soil and Water Conservation District for more information.
