Each county in Indiana has a soil and water conservation district (SWCD).  Indiana's conservation districts are structured for local leadership.  The Wells County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a subdivision of state government led by a local five-member board of Supervisors.

The SWCD provides leadership and administers programs to help people conserve, improve and sustain our natural resources and environment through total resource planning and treatment within watershed areas.

  • Provides information and technical assistance to landowners through partnerships with local, state and federal agencies.
  • Assists landowners with planning and installation of conservation practices.
  • Provides financial assistance for projects that conserve, improve and sustain our natural resources.
  • Determines and addresses natural resource education needs in Wells County.
  • Determines and addresses forestry, wildlife, soil and water resource needs in Wells County.
  • Recognizes landowners for their efforts to protect and enhance our environment by the wise use of our natural resources.
  • Partners with the Rock Creek Conservancy District, and serves as a member of the Upper Wabash River Basin Commission to further natural resource conservation efforts.
The Wells Co. Soil & Water Conservation District meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the NRCS/SWCD office, 117. W. Harvest Road, Bluffton, IN.  The agenda is posted at the office location.  The meetings are open to the public.
