Last week, conservation districts and conservation partners across the country shared a variety of outreach programs to youth and adults as part of NACD’s Soil and Water Stewardship Week, including:
- NACD Past President Gene Schmidt shared Soil and Water Stewardship Week lessons with more than 100 Fourth graders at the South Central School in LaPorte County, Ind.
- The Lancaster Soil and Water Conservation District of Lancaster, S.C. delivered a Stewardship Week presentation to its county council. Conservation district manager Amanda Roberts also reached more than 500 students with school presentations about water pollution, land formations and, most importantly, where our water comes from.
- Leaders of the Indiana Conservation Partners (ICP) gathered at the Indiana State Fairgrounds’ “Pathway to Water Quality” exhibit to educate fair-goers about the personal actions they can take to improve water quality in Indiana.
- Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed a proclamation declaring April 28-May 5, 2013 as Stewardship Week.
