Who Are We?
The Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a local subdivision of Indiana state government responsible for leadership in the conservation of Monroe County’s natural resources. The District is governed by a board of five supervisors who are county residents. These citizens are elected by their peers to serve for a three-year term as state elected officials.
The District works closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Purdue Cooperative Extension, the City of Bloomington, and other state and federal agencies. In partnership with the NRCS and IDNR, MCSWCD provides technical assistance to farmers, homeowners, businesses, and industry. The District also works with units of local, state, and federal government to address issues of land use, conservation planning, and resource development. See our Sales and Services page for a complete listing of offered services.
Monroe Co. SWCD Locally Led 2020 Survey
The Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District is organizing and conducting the
2020 Local Working Group meeting to identify and prioritize natural resource concerns in Monroe County.
Due to you or your organization/agencies unique knowledge base, skill set and/or
organizational mission your input is extremely valuable to this process.
Because we acknowledge that everyone’s time is precious and meetings are sometimes
hard to attend, we have created a quick and simple survey of possible resource concerns.
If you would please take 3-5 minutes to complete this survey to help us assess and identify
those concerns that are of the highest priority in Monroe County.
Please complete survey by 4:00pm on Monday, September 16, 2019

Physical Address: USDA Service Center, 1931 S Liberty Drive, Bloomington, IN 47403
The Monroe County Local Working Group meeting will take place on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 6:00 PM,
before the SWCD’s monthly board meeting. At the meeting we will review the result of this survey and
discuss any additional input/comments. The results of this survey along with any additional comments at
the meeting will assist in determining a ranking for which areas of concern are of the highest priority.
This ranking will serve as a guide for local projects funding priorities and which projects will receive
funding through the USDA Farm Bill programs (i.e.: Environmental Quality Incentives Program) for 2020.
