Soil & Water Conservation

Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) coordinates and directs programs and services to prevent degradation of the Commonwealth's water quality and quantity. Services are delivered to local governments, special interest groups and citizens by staff members located in seven regional offices. Staff in Richmond serves as a resource for field staff.



There are many ways from farmers to elementary school children, to help prevent such pollution to keep Virginia's creeks, rivers and bays clean and productive. Call for more information or visit the website.
