About Natural Bridge SWCD
The purpose of the SWCD is to give citizens the structure and the capability to solve conservation problems at a local grassroots level. The idea of forming local conservation districts grew out of public concern for the conditions of our Natural Resources in the early 1930’s. Poor farming practices, abuse of farmland, and unusually harsh weather caused massive soil erosion. The incentive for such problem solving began with the Dust Bowl/Depression era when people began to realize that land and water were precious resources to be carefully managed.
The Natural Bridge SWCD joins 47 other Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the state of Virginia, and similar districts nationwide.
