The Hunterdon County Soil Conservation District (HCSCD) is a government organization established in the 1950s in response to the Dust Bowl, with the aim of conserving soil and water resources in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Operating under the State Soil Conservation Committee of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, HCSCD provides technical assistance and support to the agricultural community, as well as addressing soil erosion and sediment control issues caused by urbanization and development in the region. With a dedicated team of staff members, including a manager, resource specialist, site inspectors, agricultural conservation specialist, district clerk, and bookkeeper, HCSCD works in collaboration with the USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service to implement soil conservation measures, prevent soil erosion on construction sites, preserve topsoil, and enhance water quality. The district is governed by a board of supervisors who set policies and guidelines for daily operations, ensuring the sustainable use of land while protecting the natural environment.Generated from the website
