A note on who we are

Wabasha Soil & Water Conservation District was founded in 1941 to help promote a sound economy and sustain the natural resources in communities of Wabasha County. We are co-located with NRCS and FSA partners and we partner with Wabasha County and multiple other agencies to prevent soil erosion, build soil health, mitigate flooding, and improve water quality. By spreading information, providing financing and staying up to date on the best technical practices, we believe we can help keep our economy strong.
