About

Mission

Erosion control and water quality improvement for the residents of Montgomery County are the primary concerns of the District. It is our mission to coordinate assistance and develop locally driven solutions to our agriculturally based natural resource problems. We strive to inform land users on ways to reduce erosion and improve water quality through a comprehensive program of technical, financial, and educational resources, making them available to our clients without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religious belief, age, disability, political beliefs, and marital or familial status.

History

Conservation districts in the United States trace their formation to the 1930s, when national attention was focused on the crisis of the Dust Bowl.  Congress passed Public Law 46 in 1935, declaring soil and water conservation a national policy, and in l937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt recommended that states allow landowners to form soil and water conservation districts.  Today, there are close to 3000 conservation districts across the country.

The Montgomery County Soil Conservation District (MCSCD) is one of 95 districts in Tennessee established under Tennessee State Code – 43-14-218.  Local districts are responsible for conservation programs within their counties. A Board of Supervisors, five local residents who are recommended by a local nominating committee and appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee, administers each district.
