The Camas Soil Conservation District was organized in 1957 to help landowners lay out irrigation systems and assist ranchers with soil quality and for age information. Each year, the District donates money, technical assistance, and office space for Southern Idaho Biological Weed Control staff, awards graduating seniors scholarship funds and sends youth to Natural Resource Camp and Envirothon, and sponsors educational activities. They also provide input to the Camas County Zoning and Planning Committee, monitor water quality in groundwater wells, and assist in NRCS snow surveys. The District’s top priorities are: improve rangeland, improve wildlife habitat, increase public outreach, improve water quality and reduce soil erosion, and provide fiscally responsible district operations.
Mission:
- Set high standards for the wise use of the natural resources in the District and to encourage cooperation among landowners, government agencies, private organizations and selected officials.
- Make technical, financial and educational resources available and coordinate them to meet the needs of the local land manager with conservation of soil, water and related natural resources.
2014 Accomplishments:
