Wisconsin SWCDs to dissolve amid 1981 reform shift
The state Board of Soil and Water Conservation Districts ends June 29 in Mt Horeb, as Chapter 346 Laws of 1981 dissolves SWCDs and creates the Land Conservation Board under the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. New local Land Conservation Committees replace SWCCs, merging county and federal conservation programs with existing boards and ensuring broad representation.
