Seneca Conservation District

Seneca Conservation District Our Community. Our diverse programs provide us the opportunity to assist in the areas of farm, home and education. Our Resources. Our Future.

Our mission is to conserve our resources, to educate and inspire our community, and to create our future with science-based, intentional choices on the farms, in the homes and in the schools of Seneca County. At Seneca Conservation District, we believe it is our responsibility to assist the residents of Seneca County in conserving and protecting the natural resources of our local community that wi

ll inevitably make a positive impact on the larger community of the Lake Erie Watershed. Our training and expertise allows us to provide leadership to the residents of Seneca County in their efforts to make a difference for future generations. The staff at Seneca Conservation District is equipped to engage in all these areas to provide a sustainable future for our local community. For more than 60 years, the Seneca Conservation District has been an advocate of conservation, working with landowners, local, state and federal agencies to maintain healthy and productive working landscapes. The current staff at Seneca Conservation District draws on the District’s long history of helping people help the land in educating our local community on how to take care of the environment. We believe our community, as stewards of the land, has a responsibility to take care of the natural resources and preserve them for future generations. We assist by providing resources and guidance to residents and businesses seeking to adopt conservation practices in order to preserve our resources. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us." It is our goal to ensure future generations have the same access to our natural resources as we do today. We are dedicated to conserving our natural resources by using them wisely and hope to inspire the younger generation to enjoy the world around them so they will want to be good stewards of the land as well.

Our team is mourning the loss of our sweet Pygmy goat, Zelda. She brought smiles to so many faces, from the youngest farm visitors during preschool story time, to the kiddos visiting the farm for school field trips, to adults who would stop by the pasture. Zelda was 6 years old and called Proving Ground Farm home for the past several years. She will be missed by our team, her fellow pasture mates and the community.

The Farmers for Soil Health project is continuing to deliver technical assistance and cover crop reimbursement for 65,000 acres across Ohio.

Enrollment is open until August 30, 2026, for acres planted to cover crops in 2026. This program can be stacked with H2Ohio.

Farmers for Soil Health is a farmer-led, 20-state program, created in
partnership with the Soy Checkoff, Pork Checkoff and National Corn Growers Association.

This program is designed to help producers improve soil health while strengthening their bottom line. Created by farmers for farmers, this program promotes the adoption of proven practices, like cover crops, that support healthier soil, improved water quality and long-term farm productivity.

Farmers can receive financial assistance for every acre of cover crops, regardless of cover crop history. They also have
access to on-call support from local technical advisors to help them feel confident as they make new management decisions on their operations.
