Morris County Soil Conservation District

Districts are special purpose subdivisions of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. They are not county government agencies, although their jurisdiction follows county boundaries. They are semi-autonomous political bodies which are locally governed and they play a very unique role in the protection of New Jersey’s natural resources.

The Morris County Soil Conservation District works with private landowners and regulates the construction industry to reduce soil erosion and promote proper conservation measures. Our goal is to reduce the impact of sediment on New Jersey’s waters while securing healthy soils for New Jersey’s future.

The Morris District also provides education and outreach, as well as technical assistance in agriculture.
