Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District

Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District (LSWCD) is a U.S. state government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2004, located in Newport, Oregon. The organization focuses on environmental conservation efforts, specifically targeting ecosystem restoration, habitat protection, and invasive species management across Oregon's coastal and forest regions. As a local conservation district, LSWCD works closely with federal agencies to implement critical environmental preservation and restoration projects that support wildlife, native vegetation, and ecosystem health.

The district has received multiple federal grant awards from agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Resources Conservation Service. Their grant-funded projects primarily concentrate on habitat restoration and invasive species management, with specific initiatives targeting the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly habitat connectivity, riparian vegetation restoration, and invasive weed control. Notable projects include a $119,544 Forest Service grant to control invasive weeds in forest and recreation areas, cooperative agreements with Fish and Wildlife Service to restore pollinator meadows and increase butterfly habitat connectivity, and a source water protection assessment addressing agricultural and forestry impacts on water resources for several Oregon cities. These projects demonstrate LSWCD's expertise in ecological restoration, wildlife conservation, vegetation management, and environmental assessment, working across private and public lands to support regional ecosystem health and biodiversity.
