The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Stewardship Week is one of the largest national programs to promote natural resource conservation. Celebrated annually since 1955 between the last Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May, NACD Stewardship Week reminds us of our individual responsibilities to care for natural resources. 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! PROCLAMATION 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 Soil & Water Stewardship Week For more information, visit www.nacdnet.org
