The Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District is a subdivision of state government that promotes best management practices of natural resources within Lucas County, Ohio. Whether through a classroom, a rain garden, or a 500-acre farm conservation project -- we're here to help you care for our local soil and water!

Our conservation work depends on our ability to secure grants and voluntary funding from the Lucas County Commissioners, local townships and municipalities, and individual
​donors like you.
