Lafourche-Terrebonne Soil and Water Conservation District

Lafourche-Terrebonne Soil and Water Conservation District The LTSWCD is dedicated to protecting and restoring local wetlands through vegetative plantings, and environmentally responsible farming techniques.

76 years ago, America was losing thousands of tons of topsoil as a result of relentless dust storms caused by years of catastrophic drought conditions and poor farming practices. In 1935, national leaders established the Soil Conservation Service to help save America’s soil resources. States followed suit by establishing soil and water conservation commissions and local districts. In 1938, the Lou

isiana Legislature established the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee and authorized it to work with local farmers to establish local conservation districts. Today, the Soil Conservation Service is known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee is known as the Louisiana Soil and Water Conservation Commission, and 44 Soil and Water Conservation Districts serve Louisiana's landowners. NRCS and SWCD offices are staffed with experts from many disciplines to help landowners conserve natural resources in sustainable ways. On staff are soil scientists, resource conservationists, grazing lands specialists, engineers, biologists, botanists, agronomists, foresters, conservation technicians, administrative professionals, and many others trained to help landowners make the right decisions for every natural resource. NRCS and SWCDs in Louisiana are successful because of partnerships, and because of the close working relationship among individual farmers and ranchers, landowners, government agencies, Tribes, Earth Team volunteers, and other people who care about the quality of Louisiana’s natural resources.
