Protecting Connecticut’s Water Resources,

from Headwaters to the Sound

Welcome to the Connecticut Council on Soil & Water Conservation

We're proud to coordinate activities and opportunities among Connecticut’s conservation districts and government agencies — specifically as they relate to environmental and natural resources projects. We focus on a number issues in the State of Connecticut:

Erosion / Sediment Control

Keeping our waterways healthy by making sure soil stays put.

Water Quality and Quantity

Protecting our water sources from pollutants to keep ecosystems healthy.

Land Use Issues

Balancing a healthy environment with the economic demands for development.

The Council is governed by a Board of Directors made up by a representative from:

  • Each of the five Conservation Districts
  • The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
  • The Department of Agriculture
  • UCONN’s Cooperative Extension System
  • A non-governmental organization appointed by the Governor
