"To conserve, protect, and enhance the soil and water resources of Geauga County by providing leadership, education, and assistance to all."
Who We Are
The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) was established in 1944. It was the 29th SWCD to be established in Ohio. The Geauga SWCD is a legal entity of the State of Ohio and is administered by a five-member, elected Board of Supervisors. These Board members make important decisions regarding conservation within the county and set the direction for the District Staff.
The District works cooperatively with other county agencies, local officials, and conservation groups. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service works with the District by offering assistance to agricultural producers within the county. Each of the 88 Ohio counties has its own SWCD, and funding is obtained through the County Commissioners, the State of Ohio, grants, and donations.
The individual Soil and Water Conservation Districts within the state serve the varying needs of the county in which they are located. The Geauga SWCD serves the residents of Geauga County by providing many quality services. The District works with the local community to increase the awareness and appreciation of the county's valuable natural resources.
Please contact us here at the District if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. The office is closed all government holidays.
We are located at the Geauga County Fairgrounds at the North entrance, next to the Ohio State University Extension Office at the Patterson Center.
Board meetings are held at 7:30 am at the Geauga SWCD office in the Patterson Center, 14269 Claridon-Troy Road, in Burton, or virtually as advised for public health reasons, on the second Tuesday of the month.
