About WCSCD
The Warren County Soil Conservation District is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the conservation of our natural resources. It was established in 1952 as a special purpose subdivision of the
New Jersey Department of Agriculture to safeguard our soil and water resources. The District is responsible for the control
and reduction of soil erosion and sedimentation in Warren County. With the passage of the New Jersey Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, Chapter 251, P.L. 1975, the District has
been able to reduce these resource problems which result from urban sprawl. As one of fifteen soil conservation districts
in New Jersey, it is the responsibility of the Warren County Soil Conservation District to review, certify, and enforce soil
erosion and sediment control plans. In addition to administration of this act, the District is also involved in a number of
other programs.
The Warren County Soil Conservation District began a forestry program in 1985. This program provides
technical assistance on a wide variety of forestry matters to private landowners and municipal governments throughout Warren
County. The services available through this program include: development of forest management plans, timber stand improvement,
timber harvesting, reforestation, and tree planting. Public
information and outreach is another focus of the District. Promoting stewardship through natural resource conservation is
beneficial to the environment and all of its inhabitants. The District maintains an environmental education program which assists
the general public through the annual poster contest, displays, and booths. Recognizing the value of natural resources
is the best way to encourage wise land-use practices. |
