Serving Amelia, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties
On the morning of March 23rd, District Manager Deanna Fehrer gave the signal for the four teams competiting at the Local Envirothon to begin the first of five tests of their environmental understanding. The Local Envirothon competition, held at beautiful Twin Lakes State Park Cedar Crest Conference Center, determines which team will represent the Piedmont SWCD at the Area V competition.
The Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a non-profit, political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia operating primarily on a grant basis with funds from state and local governments. Piedmont SWCD provides technical and educational assistance for natural resource conservation to land users, farmers, foresters, homeowners, and local governments in Amelia, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties. Since 1939, the District has delivered voluntary, locally-led conservation solutions to natural resource concerns.
