We are committed to helping homeowners, farmers, developers, and contractors understand and abide by the State regulations and best practices designed to responsibly manage our soil and protect our waterways.
We have a responsibility to educate the communities and farmers of Morris County in methods they can utilize to promote good soil health and safeguard their waterbodies – which will contribute to a better environment for their citizens and more productive farmlands.
We make a commitment to our employees to provide a positive culture and collaborative work environment. We will lead and manage our employees with impartiality, consistency, transparency and integrity. We will listen to their ideas and complaints, and provide opportunities for professional growth and development, as well as commensurate recognition and fair compensation.
We are committed to working cooperatively with our soil conservation partners across the state of New Jersey and at the Federal level in support of our mutual mission as stewards of Morris County. We will endeavor to create the best possible programs at reasonable costs; we believe that sound environmental policy is also sound economic policy.
When we operate according to these principles, we will serve the people of Morris County well.
