What is the PW Soil & Water Conservation District?


The Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District (PWSWCD) is focused on protecting and enhancing our water and soil resources in Prince William County, an area encompassing 316 square miles with 25% of the land used for agricultural purposes.

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, Office Manager, two Conservation Specialists, one Education Specialist, and one Outreach/Education Specialist. 

The Board meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at 12:30 p.m. on the second floor of the old courthouse, 9248 Lee Avenue, Manassas.  Meeting schedule may be found on the calendar page. 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.
