WHO WE ARE
Our Mission at the Kankakee County Soil and Water Conservation District is to provide leadership and coordinate programs focusing technical, financial and educational assistance to help the landowner and the public protect, preserve and enhance our natural resources.
The Kankakee County Soil and Water Conservation District exists to provide information and services regarding the conservation, development and management of the land and water. Working closely with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), we help district residents to implement practices that conserve their soil, water and other natural resources.
The K3SWCD provides services such as Natural Resource Information reports for those planning projects in the county. We also sell native plants, trees and shrubs, fish, and pollinator seed.
Education is an important component to the district, and we strive to provide the public with information, outreach, and resources regarding the conservation of our natural resources.
