Our Mission:

The Soil & Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is an international, nonprofit, multidisciplinary organization for anyone interested in natural resource management and conservation. Its mission is to advocate the protection, enhancement, and wise use of soil, water, and related natural resources to achieve sustainability.

Our members represent corporations, universities, consulting firms, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and special interest groups - a diversity that promotes balance and credibility.
 

Our Vision:

The SWCS members are dedicated, informed, and effective conservation leaders. Soil and Water Conservation Society publications and education programs enhance knowledge by generating and sharing information about natural resources. The multi-disciplinary membership blends science and art to create and convey vital conservation information to others.

The SWCS is a sought-after source of knowledge and objective information by researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and analysts. Our international, national, and local models of interdisciplinary examination and action identify new and effective answers to complex conservation issues. The Society anticipates emerging policy issues and is prepared to meet the changing needs of members. Milestones in conservation policy and practice reflect SWCS' continuing contribution and leadership as an advocate for soil and water conservation.

The conference includes workshops, concurrent sessions, symposia, posters, plenary sessions, and technical tours designed to raise the awareness of conference participants to recent developments in the science and art of natural resource conservation and environmental management on working land—the largely privately-owned land comprising working farms, ranches, forests, and rural and urban communities.

AUDIENCE: The SWCS annual conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers at all levels of government, business, and nongovernmental organizations to explore current issues in conservation and environmental management science, technology, practice, programs, and policy.
