Background

Scope and content:

The West Virginia chapter of a national environmental association whose membership was composed of conservation professionals. Nearly all of its members were federal, state or academic employees of such organizations and institutions as the U. S. Forest Service, West Virginia University, or the WV State Conservation Commission. Arranged chronologically by year, the records include annual meeting programs, executive council meeting minutes, correspondence, newsletters, speeches, reports, and presentations. The society's purpose was to serve as medium for exchanging information, "to promote and advance all phases of the science of conservation of soil and water resources," and "to represent, advance and protect the standards of the science of soil and water conservation."
