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 Education/Outreach Specialist.  The Board meets on the third Thursday of every month at 12:30 p.m. at the office of County Supervisor Wally Covington,  8506 Wellington Road.  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.
