ABOUT US
The Kankakee County SWCD works directly with landowners, producers, local organizations, and the community to promote and facilitate conservation programs, cost-share, outreach, events, and more.
One of 97 Soil and Water Conservation Districts in the state of Illinois, the Kankakee County SWCD was established in 1946. Acting as a "local unit of government", SWCD's provide assistance to the public in conserving and protecting soil, water, and other natural resources.
