Soil and Water Conservation Districts develop and implement conservation programs based on a set of resource priorities, and channel resources from all levels of government into action at the local level. Indiana's 92 SWCDs are each governed by a board of supervisors, consisting of three elected supervisors, who own or rent more than 10 acres of land in the district, and two appointed supervisors who maintain their permanent residence in the district. http://www.in.gov/isda/2370.htm
