Welcome to our Newest Supervisors!

Allen Moore, Supervisor, Group 1

Allen Moore is no stranger to the Duval Soil and Water Conservation District. As an affiliate member for the last few years, Allen has helped train current Supervisors, host the annual speech contest, conduct the soils section of the annual Envirothon, and organize soil workshops and trainings for landowners.  Allen has been at almost every District meeting for the last 5 years, and when a vacancy became available in August of 2016, we looked to our Affiliate Members to quickly and seamlessly fill that vacancy.

Congrats to Patrick Bennett for taking on an exciting career advancement in Nashville, Tennessee. We are happy to have Allen join us, serving the remainder of Patrick's term, ending in January of 2019.
