“The mission statement of the Goodhue Soil & Water Conservation District is to provide technical, financial, and educational assistance for land and water management in a way that promotes a sound economy and sustains and enhances natural resources.”

​

​

Our SWCD's vision is for a Goodhue County where our natural resources contributed significantly to our quality of life.  The county takes pride in its soil protection programs, improved creation opportunities, water quality and wildlife habitat.

This has been achieved through cost-effective, efficient county, state, federal and private partnerships.  Because it represents local citizens though its elected board, the SWCD is recognized and visible for its unique leadership role.

The leadership roles includes identifying and addressing natural resource needs and opportunities, long-range planning, and program evaluation.  The SWCD continues to be a trusted source of educational, technical and financial assistance for citizens and local government.
