On this day in 1939, the Texas Legislature established the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, laying the foundation for a statewide commitment to protecting the natural resources that sustain our farms, ranches, communities, and future generations.

For 86 years, the TSSWCB has worked alongside Texas’ 216 Soil and Water Conservation Districts, landowners, producers, and conservation partners to advance voluntary, locally led conservation across the Lone Star State.

As we reflect on this milestone, we honor the visionaries who came before us and remain committed to stewarding Texas’ soil and water resources for generations to come.
