Introduction
The mission of the Clayton County Soil & Water Conservation District is to provide educational and technical assistance to conserve soil, improve water quality, and enhance the natural resources in Clayton County.
The District could not successfully accomplish our mission without the partnership of local governments including Clayton County, Forest Park, Jonesboro, Lovejoy and Morrow.
In addition the District would like to thank the technical support and assistance of the Georgia Soil & Water Conservation Commission and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Our partners provide the foundation to help us accomplish our conservation programs. We are especially grateful for their support and assistance to the District.
The Board of Supervisors of the Clayton County Soil & Water Conservation District is proud of the accomplishments during FY 2013. These accomplishments are summarized in this Annual Report.
