Bill Bertram(left), Myron Dellinger(right), recently elected supervisors of the Guernsey Soil & Water Conservation District, along with Steve Douglass were sworn into office at the regularly schedule SWCD meeting January 14th. Mr. Douglass was appointed by the Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Commission to fill the unexpired term of long term board member Blaine Neilley, who passed away recently.
Elected to a three year term, Bertram and Dellinger join John Enos, Ken Ford, and Mr. Douglass in administering the Guernsey SWCD’s natural resource conservation programs.
Born out of the Dustbowl years, the Guernsey SWCD was organized in 1942 to further the natural resource conservation mission. As a subdivision of state government, soil and water conservation districts have legal authority to assist landowners with a wide range of soil, water, woodland and wildlife conservation objectives. Another important goal is to provide information and education programs on natural resource conservation and management topics for county residents.
The mission of the Guernsey SWCD is to promote, through education and technical assistance, the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
