In Virginia, there are 47 Soil and Water Conservation Districts who assist in protecting Virginia’s waterways by providing programs and funding as appropriated by the General Assembly. Districts also implement the Virginia Agricultural BMP Cost Share Program (VACS). The cost-share program supports using various practices in conservation planning to treat animal waste, cropland, pastureland and forested land. The VACS program is administered in partnership by DCR and Virginia’s SWCDs. Patrick County SWCD represents one of 47 Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and delivers voluntary, locally-led conservation solutions to the agriculture community. Patrick SWCD provides technical assistance for natural resource conservation to land users, farmers and foresters in Patrick County.
