Mahoning SWCD, established in 1951, is a legal subdivision of state government that provides natural resource management assistance to county landowners and other units of local government.
Funding comes from the Mahoning County commissioners, and county funds are supplemented by money from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The district is governed by a five-member board of county residents. Board members serve staggered three-year terms.
