Our Vision . . .
The Gilliam Soil and Water Conservation District's vision statement is to maximize and recognize the production of crops and livestock with the utilization of natural resources, while remaining environmentally and economically sustainable.
Also, to ensure maximum benefit from existing practices such as the Conservation Reserve Program, controlled burn plans and weed invasion, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, the Rural Fire Department, the State Forestry and the Soil Water and Conservation District.
Our Mission . . .
The Gilliam Soil and Water Conservation District's mission is to provide support for economic sustainability for the rural community and to educate and assist the community for conservation while preventing soil and water erosion for the future.
As a small community we are able to work with one another and help each other with the assistance from our district directors, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Oregon Association of Conservation Districts, and the Watershed Council. |
