Download the Free 28 Page PDF book. This book grew out of a belief that if people knew of our soil and water resources, how they came to be, and the threats they face, they would better appreciate and care for them.

 

Working Together!

 

Effective resource conservation is based on a strong combination of knowledge and cooperation.

 

KSWCD provides information and conservation planning assistance free of charge to landowners and land managers, agencies, organizations, community groups, private businesses.
