 Introduction 
The mission of the DeKalb County Soil & Water Conservation District is to provide educational and technical assistance to conserve soil, improve water quality, and enhance the natural resources in DeKalb County. 
The District could not successfully accomplish our mission without the partnership with local governments including DeKalb County, Doraville, Dunwoody, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Chamblee and Avondale Estates. 
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 DeKalb County Soil & Water Conservation District is proud of the accomplishments during the FY2012. These accomplishments are summarized in this Annual Report.
