Anne Arundel Soil Conservation District (AASCD) is a government organization in Annapolis, MD, dedicated to promoting soil conservation and water quality in agriculture and urban development. They provide voluntary soil and water conservation plans for working farms, helping farmers optimize productivity while protecting the environment through innovative methods like cover crops and shoreline buffers. AASCD also reviews sediment and erosion control plans for construction projects to ensure proper management of runoff and soil erosion.
AASCD was established in 1937 in response to the devastating soil erosion conditions that led to the Dust Bowl. They strive to redefine stewardship in Anne Arundel County's soil, cultivating quality soil standards for a sustainable landscape that can be appreciated for generations to come. With a focus on education and conservation planning, AASCD aims to build a strong foundation for the future by promoting responsible land management practices and preserving the natural resources of the region.
