Mahoning SWCD Seeks Board Supervisor Candidates

Mahoning Soil & Water Conservation District is seeking interested, conservation-minded, local leaders to promote conservation of the county’s natural resources through education, planning and technical assistance. 

One supervisor will be elected on November 3, 2020, and will begin his/her term in January 2021. He/she will join a board of four other supervisors and one associate supervisor, and will help advise a staff of four.
