Who We Are
The mission of the Kodiak Soil and Water Conservation District is to provide education and leadership by coordinating and implementing programs for the conservation, use and sustainable development of soil, water and related resources.
Since 1964, KSWCD has facilitated natural resource conservation through community involvement, education, technical expertise and scientific research. The KSWCD is committed to utilizing voluntary, cooperative and scientifically sound methods to ensure that the natural resources of the Kodiak Archipelago are sustained, conserved, and restored within a landscape of productive agriculture, growing communities and wildlands.
