ROCKDALE COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Rockdale County SWCD is made up of a board of five supervisors that come from a variety of areas of life. The Rockdale County SWCD is one of the few single county districts in the state. This means Rockdale County residents benefit from a consolidation of funds and resources and easier coordination with local governments.
