Gwinnett County Soil & Water
Conservation District FY 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
61 Triple
Introduction
The mission of the Gwinnett County Soil & Water Conservation District is to provide educational and technical assistance to conserve soil, improve water quality, and enhance the natural resources in Gwinnett County.
The District could not successfully accomplish this without the partnership of local governments including Gwinnett County, Suwanee, Grayson, Sugar Hill, Berkeley Lake, Snellville, Lawrenceville, Norcross, Duluth, Loganville, Buford, Lilburn and Dacula.
In addition the District would like to thank the technical support and assistance of the Georgia Soil & Water Conservation Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Upper Ocmulgee River Resource Conservation & Development Council.
Our partners provide the foundation to accomplish our conservation programs. We are grateful for their support and assistance to the District.
The Board of Supervisors of the Gwinnett County Soil & Water Conservation District is proud of the accomplishments during 2013. These accomplishments are summarized in this Annual Report.
