The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the science and practice of natural resource conservation. Founded in the aftermath of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, SWCS serves as a vital advocate for conservation professionals and science-based practices. The organization focuses on research, education, advocacy, and partnerships to further its mission, bolstering conservation efforts at local levels through state and university chapters across the United States and Canada.

SWCS provides a range of services including access to educational resources, professional development opportunities, and advocacy at the policy level. With a membership of over 2,000 individuals, SWCS fosters a community committed to addressing pressing environmental issues. The organization also offers several programs and events such as webinars, conferences, and workshops to engage members and professionals in ongoing learning and collaboration. Their commitment to conservation is reflected not only in their work but also in their strong leadership and partnerships with corporate sponsors and project collaborators.
