The State Soil Conservation Committee has organized Soil Con- servation Districts in all counties of the State. The Committee co- ordinates the work of the twenty-four Soil Conservation Districts in Maryland to further the application of scientifically sound and prac- tical conservation measures to the lands in Maryland which will re- sult in a retardation of erosion and the advancement of soil and water conservation. The Committee makes available to the districts such funds as are made available to the Committee for use by the districts in implementing the soil conservation district program. The State Committee also assists Districts in securing the advice and help of State and Federal agencies which have resources that can be brought to bear on soil and water problems and on certain phases of related land use programs and problems, including water- shed protection and flood prevention, siltation of streams and reser- voirs, shore erosion control, highway erosion control, forest and woodland conservation and development, the protection and develop- ment of wildlife, and the development of public land areas (Code 1957, 1970 Repl.
