Polk Soil and Water Conservation District

The Polk Soil and Water Conservation District provides leadership to help people improve, conserve, and sustain our natural resources.

Over the past 20 years, Polk SWCD has also taken a lead on watershed-based efforts in Central Iowa. By working with local partners and residents to address local issues, the district has taken a part in tackling issues such as bacteria and algae blooms in Big Creek Lake, flooding in Fourmile Creek, stormwater pollution in Easter Lake, and many others. Through grant funding and local partnerships, the district has grown to include a staff of watershed coordinators to better serve Central Iowa.
