Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District: Habitat Conservation Program
Mission Statement
“The Fairbanks Soil & Water Conservation District (FSWCD) is an outreach and technical assistance organization whose mission is to serve its cooperators, private landowners, and all citizens of the district by promoting wise development and conservation of natural resources.”
Our goal is to follow our integrated pest management plan (IPM) for the unique invasive species problems in our district.
This website serves as a platform to educate and inform the public about the status of invasive plant species in the regions that fall within the scope of the FSWCD. For more information on the conservation district please visit our home site:
