Mission Statement
To conserve the natural resources of Noble County by educating and providing technical services to land users for future generations.
About Us
Noble Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) was organized in July 1942, becoming the 6th SWCD to be organized in the state of Ohio. The district is a legal sub-division of the state and state law mandates that the district be governed by a board of supervisors. The board of supervisors consists of 5 members who serve without pay and are elected for a three year term at our annual meeting held in the fall. Any resident or landowner in Noble County is eligible to participate in the election. Regular meetings are opened to the public and held the second Wednesday of every month.

First, Kirstin has continued to be busy collecting hay and manure samples as part of our program for Noble County producers which includes 2 free forage and manure samples each! As a result, she has captured some beautiful images of the views here in Noble County, and we have decided to share one of these photos with you below!![]()

Next, Deric has been busy revamping our website to give it a more refreshed, modern look, while still offering all the features that the old website had. Amongst our favorite changes, a historical section was added that explains the history of Noble SWCD, including honoring our past board of supervisors, and a photo gallery showcasing the development and history of Noble County! There are still some changes to be made but check it out for yourself at www.nobleswcd.org and let us know what you think!![]()

Finally, we have decided to launch a new social media campaign as a result of some seriously stunning imagery that you all shared with us for our 2025 photo contest! You all did not disappoint, and we thought it would be fun to give the community another opportunity to share your photography skills! Introducing Wildlife Wednesday! Each Wednesday we will choose an image submitted by one of you that captures wildlife native to Noble County. This will be an ongoing campaign, so even if your image is not selected for the first week, it could still be selected for a subsequent week! We will post weekly reminders but have no doubts that you will all exceed our expectations and deliver some jaw-dropping imagery! Submissions must be emailed to deric@nobleswcd.org with the subject line being “Wildlife Wednesday.” Please note that images shared in the comments or via Messenger will not be considered.
