SWCDs are a political subdivision of state government. The Henry County SWCD has
five supervisors and two associate supervisors. Programs and activities of the
SWCD are overseen by the supervisors. Two supervisors are appointed by the State
Soil Conservation Board based on recommendations made by the SWCD and three
supervisors are elected at the Annual Meeting.
The purpose of the Henry County Soil & Water Conservation District is to provide
information about soil, water, and related natural resource conservation;
identify and prioritize local soil and water resource concerns; and connect land
users to sources of educational, technical and financial assistance to implement
conservation practices and technologies.
The Henry County SWCD board of supervisors meet the forth Tuesday of every month
at 7:00 p.m. at the SWCD office. Board meetings are open to the public.
Natural Areas of Henry County: A Guide
The Henry County Soil & Water Conservation District applied for and was
awarded grant money from the Henry County Community Foundation to compile a
guide for residents as a reference tool for the natural areas in our county. The
booklet features colorful pictures and detailed information on wetlands,
prairies, streams & rivers in Henry County. It goes into detail of Henry
County’s natural heritage and it highlights special natural areas such as Summit
Lake State Park, Wilbur Wright Fish & Wildlife Area, Westwood Park and many
others. Natural Areas of Henry County was written by Randy Jones, Jeff Ray and
Tom Swinford, IDNR Regional Ecologist.
The booklet was distributed through the county at many locations. To find a copy
of the Natural Areas of Henry County closest to you call the SWCD office at
529.2303 ext 3 for those locations.
