The Holston River SWCD was formed September 4, 1951. Since its inception, service to the farmers of Washington County has been the prime objective for the district.
Over 50 years ago state legislators recognized the need to support grassroots conservation efforts. As a result, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law was passed authorizing the creation of conservation districts. Today there is a conservation district established in every Virginia county, except Arlington.

Elected board of directors
You'll notice that this is an old picture of Board members! We are proud to say that many HRSWCD Directors have spent over 10 years serving on the board and participating in District programs.
Virginia's Conservation Districts are "political subdivisions of State Government", that utilize state, federal and private sector resources to solve today's conservation problems.
The guiding philosophy of all Conservation Districts is that decisions on conservation issues should be made at the local level, by local people, with technical assistance provided by government.
Each conservation district is led by a Board of Directors made up of local people from all walks of life. These elected/appointed members study local natural resource issues and make decisions which enhance and protect their community.
