National Association of Conservation Districts Preparing for Stewardship Week April 28 – May 5

The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) will hold its 69th Stewardship Week from April 28 through May 5, 2024, with the theme “May the Forest Be with You, Always.” According to NACD, this theme underscores the critical interplay between soil and water conservation and the resilience of our forests and notes the function forests play as steadfast protectors of soil and water resources, preventing erosion, purifying contaminants, and nurturing healthy watersheds. Conservation districts across the United States will participate in celebrating Stewardship Week with a variety of activities.
