Following the 1930s Dust Bowl
disaster, Congress passed legisla-
tion declaring soil and water con-
servation a national policy and pri-
ority. In 1937 President Roosevelt
wrote to state governors recom-
mending legislation that would
Crosscut Sawing Event (Jill and Jill)
As a consequence, the Pine Mountain
allow local landowners to form soil conservation districts.
Soil and Water Conservation District
was organized on July 17, 1939, and
comprises Chattahoochee, Harris,
Marion, Muscogee, and Talbot
Counties. Two District Supervisors
from each county serve on a 10-
member Board of Directors. Each
county has an elected and appointed
Supervisor serving a 4 and 2 year term
respectfully.
Assisting the District are the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS).
The Commission, established by the General Assembly in 1937, is charged with and empowered to provide guidance, coordination and assistance to the District. Their primary goal is to provide maximum protection to Georgia's soil and water resources.
By written agreement with and at the request of the Pine Mountain District, NRCS provides professional conservationists to help implement the district's long-range conservation program. The Pine Mountain District channels the services of NRCS to cooperators, individuals, groups, and units of government - and sets priorities for the implementation of conservation practices.
Contact your local representative, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, or the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission for more information about the work and services of the Pine Mountain District.
