Who We Are
The Prince William SWCD
encompasses Prince William County. This area includes 316
square miles, approximately 25% of which is in agricultural use.
The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors:
three are elected, one is appointed by a state board and one is a
Virginia Cooperative Extension agent. The District staff
consists of a District Manager/Conservation Specialist,
Office Manager, two Conservation Specialists, one Education
Specialist, and one Outreach/Education Specialist. The Board
meets on the third
Thursday of every month at 12:30 p.m. at the office of County
Supervisor Wally Covington, 9248 Lee Avenue, Manassas.
Citizens may have a voice in local natural resources issues by
attending these meetings and taking part in District programs.
Our Mission
The Prince William Soil and
Water Conservation District encompasses all of Prince William County.
Its mission is to provide leadership in the conservation of soil,
water, and related resources to all Prince William County citizens
through technical assistance, information, and education. The
District accomplishes this mission by administering the Virginia
Agricultural Best Management Practice Cost-Share Program in the county
and developing and administering educational programs to youth and
adults. The District plays a role in the larger objective of
improving water quality not only in local watersheds, but also in the
Potomac and Chesapeake Bay Watersheds.
