Conservation and Survey Division

Welcome to the Conservation and Survey Division


Our Mission

The Conservation and Survey Division, the natural resource survey component of the School of Natural Resources, is a unique, multi-disciplinary research, service and data-collection organization established by state statute in 1921. The Division's mission is to investigate and record information about Nebraska's geologic history, its rock and mineral resources, the quantity and quality of its water resources, land cover and other aspects of its geography, as well as the nature, distribution and uses of its soils.

School of Natural Resources

In 2003, the Conservation and Survey Division (CSD) merged with the
School of Natural Resource Sciences, to become the School of Natural Resources (SNR).

With the merger, several resources that were housed on the CSD web site, are now on the SNR web site (for a partial list, see column entitled On SNR Web Site).
