YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR ENVIRONMENT. OUR FUTURE.
Protecting the Natural Resources That Make Duval Home.
Working together to conserve our soil, protect our water, and preserve our natural resources for generations to come.
Who We Are
The Duval Soil & Water Conservation District is a local governmental conservation district dedicated to promoting the responsible stewardship of Duval County's soil, water, and natural resources.
We work alongside residents, landowners, farmers, educators, and community partners to protect our soil, safeguard our water, and preserve the natural landscapes that define Northeast Florida.
Governed by a locally elected board of supervisors, the District serves every corner of Duval County — from urban neighborhoods and suburban homesteads to agricultural lands and coastal waterways.
