It's Stewardship Week!
The 2026 NACD Stewardship Week theme, Soil. Where It All Begins, celebrates
the incredible power of soil to support life in all its forms. Soil is not just the
ground we walk on. It is the starting point for healthy food, clean water, thriving
habitats, and resilient communities. From backyard gardens to forests and city
parks, everything begins with what is beneath our feet.
Soil does a lot more than grow plants. It holds water, cycles nutrients, and
provides homes for billions of living organisms that help keep nature in balance.
It keeps roots in place, helps prevent flooding, and supports wildlife and people
alike. The trees in our neighborhoods, the food on our tables, and the natural
places we love all depend on healthy soils.
The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and Converse County
Conservation District (CCCD) encourage you to celebrate Stewardship Week
with us! Visit our website for more information on the 2026 Stewardship Week and Poster Contest today!
