What's  New

Mission

The mission of the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District is to promote the wise use, improvement and maintenance of the soil, water and other natural resources in Allen County.

Policy

Programs and services of the District include resource management information and technical assistance with installing and maintaining a broad range of conservation practices. Assistance is provided at no cost to individuals, organizations, unit of governments, and communities.    

All programs and services of the District are offered on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to race, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status.

 

History

Once a part of the "Great Black Swamp," Allen County began as a major lumber and milling center. In the late 1800s, oil was struck near Lima and oil derricks dotted the landscape for a short period of time. Today, manufacture of the transportation equipment dominates the Allen County economy.

 

 

Due to County budget cuts 
the Allen SWCD new office hours will be:

Monday through Thursday:  7:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Friday - Office will be closed
NRCS and FSA hours are not impacted by this change.

Local Weather Links
