About
Located along the Ohio River, deep in the heart of southeastern Ohio, the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District helps landowners by providing technical assistance for the implementation of conservation practices, by making available the equipment for conservation practices, and by providing educational conservation programs to children and adults.
The district implements two programs within the Leading Creek watershed. The acid-mine drainage abatement and treatment plan was completed May 2006. In addition, the district also administers a Leading Creek Watershed Program in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies to improve water quality and aquatic habitat within the watershed, a wildlife specialist's program to assist landowners with wildlife related concerns.
In 2003 the district acquired the Conservation Area near the village of Rutland. This land will be managed for wildlife and be used primarily for educational purposes. We constructed a 2.5 acre wetland next to the conservation area.
The district is a conservation partner with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and other agencies, and with hundreds of landowners throughout Meigs County.
