The district is governed by a Board of Supervisors composed of five local conservation minded individuals elected by landowners and residents of Vinton County. The position of Supervisor is a three year unpaid term which holds great responsibility by providing guidance and leadership to the district staff. Our staff is comprised of highly trained resource professionals who are available to assist Vinton County residents, landowners, and communities both in the office and in the field with their natural resources conservation needs.
All technical assistance provided by the district staff is offered free of charge.
Our agency is an independent subdivision of the State of Ohio, associated with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and funded by county and state taxpayer monies. The primary purpose of any soil and water conservation district is to bring people, governmental agencies, and private interests together to manage America's natural resources and environmental challenges. While resource objectives vary from district to district and will undoubtedly change over time, the need for a local entity to coordinate natural resource objectives will not change. The Vinton SWCD Staff and Supervisors will be on-hand to answer your questions or comments. Vinton SWCD is an equal opportunity employer.
