Mission

The mission of the Illinois Valley Soil and Water Conservation District is to assist landowners and managers to receive appropriate technical and financial resources to deal with their resource conservation issues by providing technical support and financial assistance (through our partners, programs, and granting agencies).

Our mission is complementary to that of our partners, the Natural Resources Conservation Service with their mission “to provide leadership in a partnership effort to help people conserve, improve and sustain our natural resources and environment.” Our missions also parallel that of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds in that we are striving to foster voluntary efforts to promote watershed health and conservation of threatened and endangered species.
