The Cecil Soil Conservation District (CSCD) in Maryland was formally organized on June 26, 1945, following the passage of the Soil Conservation Act in the 1930s which created a national program to combat soil erosion. The District was established to address soil erosion and promote natural resource conservation within Cecil County.

Some of what the District focuses in on are nutrient management, cover crops, land preservation, as well as reviewing erosion and sediment control plans.
