The Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District, established in 1965, is a local agency in Highland, NY, dedicated to the preservation and improvement of water quality and natural resources in both rural and urban areas of Ulster County. Governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Ulster County Legislature, the District implements engineering and agronomic practices to promote soil and water conservation, working towards the goals set by the federal conservation agency established in response to the dust bowl crisis in 1937.
As a free service of LandCAN, the Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District collaborates with other conservation districts in New York State to provide current conservation programs and resources, including federal and state programs, conservation tax center, sustainable land management tools, tree farms, wetlands and wildlife preservation, and more. With a mission to protect the environment and promote sustainable land management practices, the District has been actively involved in the preservation of Ulster County's natural resources for over four decades.
