The 2019 theme is "Life In The Soil: Dig Deeper". Soil is the foundation for many of the items we use in our daily life, such as food, clothing, clean water, homes and more. Healthy soil equals healthy food, which equals a healthy you. Don’t treat your soil like dirt! This non-renewable resource is paramount for our survival on this planet.
As part of Stewardship Week, NACD sponsors a poster contest that is organized through the local SWCDs. Check out our Contests page for more information!
Whereas fertile soil and clean water provide us with our
daily sustenance, and
Whereas effective conservation practices have helped
provide us a rich standard of living, and
Whereas our security depends upon healthy soil and clean
water, and
Whereas stewardship calls for each person to help
conserve these precious resources,
Therefore, I do hereby proclaim
April 28 to May 5, 2019
