Mission Statement HELPING PEOPLE CONSERVE, MAINTIAN AND IMPROVE THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES The South Goshen Conservation District Board (SGCD) of supervisors believe that effective soil and water conservation is URGENT and will become more urgent and important as land managers and communities take a comprehensive approach to the use and protection of soil, water and related resources in rural, suburban, urban and developing areas. Conservation should begin with and be locally led by people in their own communities in cooperation with their neighbors. The assistance that we as a board provide is based on understanding that the land – the landscape as a whole – must be the focus of conservation. Using this comprehensive approach will help land function as a living, sustainable system that provides a high standard of living and quality of life today and for generations in the future. |
