The Bullitt County Soil Conservation District was organized at the request of county citizens interested in soil and water conservation, land use planning and flood prevention. The county was declared a district by the Kentucky Secretary of State on May 21, 1946 in accordance with the provision of the "Soil Conservation Districts Law", Chapter 8 1940 Session Acts, page 37.
All 120 counties in Kentucky have a Conservation District. By having an office in each county, the District Supervisors are better able to offer resources and programs that fit the needs of its residents.
