About Us

The Iowa Soil & Water Conservation Society (IASWCS) is a non-profit scientific and educational organization devoted to the conservation of land, water and related resources.  Its objective is to advance these resources to meet the needs of present and future generations by creating a variety of forums to identify, analyze, and formulate workable recommendations on land and water management policy and issues.  The IASWCS is dedicated to wise use and wise management of resources. 

The distinctive characteristic of the organization is its multidisciplinary, multi-institutional membership of over 300 members.  Some members conduct applied or basic research; some teach in the land and water related sciences; some work with landowners and operators in planning and applying conservation practices or systems to the land.  Others practice soil and water conservation, on their own or public land.  Many others may not be employed or studying directly in a natural resource field, but have a profound interest in the stewardship of natural resources.
