Huron Soil and Water Conservation District was organized in August 1945 as the 43rd district in Ohio.  The five Huron SWCD supervisors, six full-time employees, and four part-time employees serve about 60,000 people in a county of 318,080 acres located midway between Cleveland and Toledo.  Nearly 93% of the land is classified prime farmland and farming occupies about 80% of the land use.  The topography varies from level lake plains to gently rolling glacial till soils.  The Willard Marsh is a locally unique area in the southwest part of the county.  Wetness is a limitation for many of the soils and the Huron SWCD provides technical assistance to many individuals and groups of landowners as they pursue drainage projects.  The district operates the county ditch maintenance program, with over 100 miles of open ditches, subdivisions,  and tile mains in the program.  Each year many waterways, rock chutes, and other erosion control practices are installed with SWCD and NRCS assistance.  The District partners with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), and local landowners to administer over $1.3 million annually State and Federal cost share dollars through programs like the Conservation Security Program, the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, the Environmental Quality Incentive Program, and 319 Water Quality Grants for landowners and producers to rent to promote stewardship.

Events like the 2nd Grade Arbor Day Program, Two-Day Teacher Workshop, Fourth Grade Field Day, and a Fall Fun Fest are held annually to educate Huron County children and adults alike.
