2025 District Board of Supervisors


Similar to the other Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Ohio, the Lucas SWCD is run by a board of five members who are publicly elected by county residents. Board members determine the district's long-term strategic goals, hire staff, and approve all budget decisions. They must attend one meeting a month among other responsibilities throughout the year.
Lucas SWCD Board meetings for 2025 will be held in the Lucas SWCD office (3350 Hill Ave., Toledo 43607) at 9:00 AM on the 3rd Wednesday of each month with the exception of:
January 29th, April 23rd, June 18th at 5:00 PM, and September 24th
