This week marks the 60th anniversary of Soil and Water Stewardship Week. Conservation districts across the country are marking this week with events to spread the word about the importance of caring for our natural resources.
This year's theme for stewardship week is "Local Heroes-Your Hardworking Pollinators." The NACD website has great materials to help you make the most of your local events. Outreach materials including a sample news release, public service announcements and more are available on the NACD website under the Stewardship tab.
There are also great education and stewardship materials available in the NACD Marketplace. Educators' guides, worksheets and other activity ideas are also available in our education resources section.
Let us know what your plans are to celebrate "Local Heroes Your Hardworking Pollinators" and the 60th Anniversary of Soil and Water Stewardship Week. We encourage you to send photos (with captions), news releases, articles, displays and any additional outreach your district or state association provided at your local events. Please send these items to susan-schultz@nacdnet.org.
