Each Soil and Water District in North Carolina has its own five-person board of supervisors, made up of local community members. The board consists of three elected supervisors and two supervisors appointed by the governor. All supervisors must live within the district.
The reason why conservation districts have local boards to oversee operations is that each district has unique conservation concerns. For instance, erosion and soil compaction are bigger issues in Cleveland County, with our rolling land and clay soils, than in eastern counties with flat, sandy soils. The Board of Supervisors oversees and works with the local Conservation Office staff to identify and address the conservation issues within the district.
The Soil and Water Board meets on the second Thursday of each month at the USDA Service Center at 844 Wallace Grove Road, Shelby, NC 28150. Meetings are open to the public.
