Windward Oahu Soil and Water Conservation District

The Windward Oahu Soil and Water Conservation District serves the windward side of O'ahu, working with landowners and agricultural producers to implement conservation practices that protect the area's soil, streams, and nearshore waters. The district board provides technical assistance, coordinates federal USDA conservation programs, and addresses erosion, runoff, and land degradation issues in this wet, agriculturally significant region. It also supports the protection of Windward O'ahu's important watershed areas that recharge the island's aquifers.

Windward O'ahu's streams, wetlands, and nearshore waters are shaped by how land is managed in the surrounding watershed, and this district supports conservation practices that protect those resources. Landowners and community members in Windward O'ahu can access the district's programs and engage with the board on conservation priorities.
