Underground Classroom Virtual Tour

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we unfortunately had to cancel or postpone all of our education events this spring. We didn’t want that to stop us from bringing soils education to you! Please enjoy a virtual tour of our Underground Classroom. For more information on our conservation education programs please visit our Education pages.

COVID-19 Operations Update (3/20/2020):

Beginning Monday, March 23, The Headwaters SWCD office/USDA service center will be instituting locked door policies, with no public access to the office. It is of the utmost importance that we all do our part to limit the exposure and spread of COVID-19.

There will be limited staff in the office to receive calls and check voicemails. Business will continue to still be conducted over the phone and via email. Field visits for projects currently in progress can be scheduled via appointment ONLY. Please note that this is the current plan for operations and these may change at any time. Please call the district office if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
