IASCD Calendar

Our Mission

The soil conservation district is to be the leading organization for providing action at the local level to promote wise and beneficial conservation of natural resources with emphasis on soil and water.

Our Purpose

The Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts is a voluntary, non-profit association of Idaho's 51 soil conservation districts cooperating in the management of Idaho's natural resources. In conjunction with districts from other states, they form part of a national network, the National Association of Conservation Districts, comprising approximately 3,000 districts and over 15,000 individual directors.

Our History

The Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts was organized in 1944 to provide a unified voice for conservation in Idaho. Its members work closely with the Idaho Soil Conservation Commission on problems of policy and natural resource concerns. It also provides a forum for discussion of common problems, including erosion and sediment control, water quality, forestry, research, conservation and environmental education, resource planning, wildlife and pasture and range. In order to pursue its goals of wise resource management, the Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts informs the State Legislature and the Congress of its views on natural resource concerns.
