Benefits of Joining:
Peter Wright:
The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is uniquely placed to deal with the issues that impact our world. As competition for various land uses increases from population pressure, biofuel production, wildlife habitat, green space, carbon sequestration, food production, and water management those professionals who are informed and interested in the resulting management choices stand to gain by belonging to the SWCS.
As our presence on the land over a 300 year span creates increased values, entrenched streams, climate change, sudden weather events and more sensitivity to soil, water, plant, animal and air quality the demand for conservation services will increase.
By belonging to the SWCS you will benefit from being better informed on conservation issues and having a voice nationally. As well as the opportunity to improve professionally and make contacts, the people who work on conservation issues are among the nicest I know.
I trust each member will give and receive in good measure. Let me know if you have questions or concerns that our society can help you with.
Yours in conservation,
Peter Wright
