The Cass County Soil and Water Conservation District, a political subdivision of the State of Indiana, is managed by five supervisors, who are elected by Cass County Landowners. Supervisors serve without pay and are responsible for developing the local programs, obtaining and disbursing funds and setting priorities. They also have authority to hire district staff and to oversee all district activities.
Our Purpose
The Cass County Soil and Water Conservation District works cooperatively with the Indiana State Department of Agriculture and the Natural Resources Conservation Service to assist landowners in the planned management of land and water.
