Synopsis
Excerpt from Land Use Regulation in Soil Conservation Districts
Soil conservation districts have been organized and are operating in all the 48 states. These districts were organized under state laws, passed by the respective state legislatures. Such laws are known in most states as Soil Conservation Districts Laws. In enacting them, the various legislatures set forth their determinations: That farm, forest, and grazing lands are basic assets of the states and communities in which they are located, and that widespread land deterioration has resulted in an alarming loss of those assets. They declared it to be the policy of the states to conserve these resources and they passed the soil conservation districts laws to permit systematic attacks on the problem.
The state soil conservation districts laws embody two basic princi ples: (1) That any effective attack on soil erosion and land deteriora tion must start in the communities and on the watersheds where the prob lems originate, and (2) that the local land owners and operators should take the initiative in conservation work and have control of it.
These laws permit but do not require the creation of a district in any community. Districts are organized by local farmers and ranchers through the process of petition and referendum. They are local units of government and have their own governing bodies, composed of local peo ple. Members of the governing bodies are usually known as district supervisors; in some states they are called commissioners or directors. The state governments retain some control of district activities in a few states, but most districts are entirely self-governing.

Land Use Regulation in Soil Conservation Districts (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise of soil conservation districts in the United States, a movement that emerged in the wake of widespread land degradation during the Dust Bowl era. The author examines the legal and political framework that gave rise to these districts, highlighting how they aimed to empower local communities to address erosion and conserve soil resources. The book delves into the crucial role of the "police power" in granting states the authority to regulate land use, and how this power was subsequently delegated to soil conservation districts. The author examines the legal limitations and practical challenges associated with enacting and enforcing land use regulations, emphasizing the need for a balance between individual property rights and the broader public interest in land conservation. The bookââ â¢s insights are particularly relevant given the historical context of land degradation and the growing awareness of the importance of sustainable land management. Through its examination of the complex legal and social dynamics surrounding soil conservation districts, this book offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle to balance individual liberties with the collective responsibility for preserving natural resources.
