What We Do
The Tyrrell County Soil & Water District has the
responsibility of developing and carrying out a
comprehensive natural resource program in Tyrrell
County. The District works with the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service to provide a very
comprehensive conservation program in Tyrrell
County through technical services and environmental
education. Your Conservation District provides
technical services to individuals requesting
assistance with soil and water conservation problems.
These problems may consist of the following: erosion, water management, nutrient
management concerns on agriculture land, along with drainage and erosion problems
or concerns around your home. Conservation education is another key issue the
District addresses through Environmental Education programs offered to schools,
clubs, citizens, and others as requested.
The District is a governmental subdivision of the State; a public body corporate
and politic organized in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 139 of the General
Statutes of North Carolina and is subject to the powers and restrictions as set forth in
G. S. 139. Under this law the District has the responsibility of conserving soil, water,
and related natural resources within the District boundary. The District board is made
up of five supervisors. The board meets monthly to handle current business and stay
up to date on environmental matters. Annual and long-range programs of conservation
and development within the District boundaries are developed and carried out with the
assistance of local, state, and federal agencies.
