Pitt Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor

• Businesses — The board of supervisors for soil and water districts can allocate funds to agricultural programs. An example of this is the $130,000 that the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District gave to the North Carolina Agriculture Cost Share Program (ACSP). This money helped land owners install conservation practices on their land to reduce pollution.

• School Curriculum — The board of supervisors for soil and water districts sponsors many competitions and programs for children to learn about the environment and natural resources. For example Orange County, North Carolina's Envirothon consists of 5 students taking a written test about soil, wildlife, aquatics, forests, and current environmental issues.
