IECA Chapters: Connect, Learn, and Make an Impact

At IECA, our Chapters form a vibrant network of professionals who are passionate about reducing soil erosion and promoting environmental sustainability. Spanning across all U.S. states, Canadian provinces, and several other countries, our Chapters bring people together to collaborate, share knowledge, and find solutions.

Each Chapter hosts regular events and many offer their own websites, creating a space for members to engage, learn, and stay connected with the latest industry trends.

Since 1995, my involvement in IECA activities has been pivotal in shaping my second career after retiring from the USDA-NRCS. The technology sessions, networking opportunities, and friendships I've built have been crucial to my success as an erosion and sediment control planner, inspector, and trainer.
