The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) is the nonprofit organization representing America’s 3,000 conservation districts along with their state associations and governing boards.

The association was founded on the philosophy that conservation decisions should be made voluntarily at the local level with technical and funding assistance from federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector.

The Association of Texas Soil & Water Conservation Districts promotes the activities of the SWCDs.

The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is the state agency administering Texas’ soil and water conservation law. The agency coordinates conservation and nonpoint source water pollution abatement programs throughout the state.
