Mission

The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) fosters the science and the art of soil, water, and related natural resource management to achieve sustainability. We promote and practice an ethic recognizing the interdependence of people and the environment.

What We Do

The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is an international organization comprised of about 10,000 professionals and students involved in conservation. We publish The Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, a scientific journal; Conservation Voices: Listening to the Land, a magazine for the practitioner; and the Conservogram, a newsletter. We also have Environmental Adventures cartoon booklets as well as an array of books. The Certified Professionals in Erosion and Sediment Control Program (CPESC®), co-sponsored by SWCS, is a certification program. We are involved in a variety of conferences and educational training dealing with conservation issues. The SWCS Annual Conference is an event which offers topics of special interest and networking activities to our members and guests. Scholarships, unique opportunities, and discounts are available through SWCS for members. See the President’s Message for Georgia Chapter events and sponsorships. GA Chapter ByLaws
