GILLESPIE COUNTY SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT #220

Gillespie County, Texas

The District is comprised of about 675,000 acres divided into five zones. Each zone has one director elected once every four years. Each director is a rural landowner within their zone of Gillespie County. The District provides technical assistance to all land users in Gillespie County through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

We’re involved in many activities to educate people about range and wildlife management, and preserving and protecting the county’s soil and water resources.

Our board meetings are normally the third Monday of each month at our office; 1906 North Llano Street, #106, Fredericksburg, Texas 78624.
