About Us

The MCSWCD is a municipal subdivision that partners with state, local, and federal agencies, as well as watershed groups to educate and assist landowners and municipalities in planning and implementing best management practices that stabilize soil, improve water quality, manage stormwater runoff, preserve open space, and manage fish and wildlife habitat. The District provides technical assistance in the preservation and restoration of streams, wetlands, woodlots, agricultural land and low impact development to landowners, farmers, engineers, contractors, developers, and municipalities. We have been hard at work since 1953, and are committed to protecting today, to provide for tomorrow.
