Soil & Water Conservation District
"Guarding & Enhancing Our Natural Resources for Tomorrow"
Located in Northern New York, just forty miles from Canada, Lewis County is home to the Black River Valley, the Adirondack Park and the Tug Hill Plateau.
Our goal is to assist our local citizens and farmers in protecting and enhancing the natural resources and ecology of our beautiful county.
​
Due to the nature of our work, we cannot always be in the office. We are just a staff of four and a large part of what we do involves getting out into the field and implementing conservation projects. While we do our best to keep the office open during regular hours, there are times when it will be closed.
Please call ahead to ensure someone is in the office or to schedule an appointment.
We accept Water Samples on Wednesdays Only between 8:00-10:00am.
Bottles are available outside our office if staff are working in the field.
Thank you for your understanding!
