Our History...
The Duval Soil and Water Conservation District is a subdivision of the State of Florida and was organized by landowners in Duval County, Florida. The creation of this district was authorized by the Soil and Water Conservation Law, Chapter 582, Florida Statutes, enacted by the Florida Legislature in 1937.
The Duval District was organized in 1953 to assist the local landowners and land users in making the best use of the local soil and water resources; to encourage a more positive attitude towards agriculturally related activities; and to stimulate more prosperous and lasting agricultural enterprises. The mission of the District is to plan and implement programs, projects and practices that will serve to promote the conservation of the natural resources in Duval County, Florida.
