The Soil & Water Conservation Districts, established in 1937 under the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District Act, are local units of government.

The act gives the district the responsibility to provide technical information to individuals and groups on methods of soil and water conservation, and provide natural resource inventory information on properties slated for zoning changes.

Kane County Soil & Water Conservation District was formed in 1944 and later combined with DuPage County. There are 98 Soil & Water Conservation Districts in Illinois.

It is a public body made up of citizens concerned with the protection of our natural resources. It is governed by a five-member board of directors elected by district landowners and residents.
