Clarendon Soil and Water Conservation District

05/01/2026

The 2026 National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Stewardship
Week theme ‘Soil. Where it all begins!’ celebrates soil; a living resource thatholds water, cycles nutrients and anchors plants. Throughout South Carolina,
you will find a wide variety of soil types and textures which are integral in
providing clean drinking water, nutritious food, and thriving habitats. As keepers
of the land, Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners are dedicated to
being good stewards of our natural resources, whether that's in their backyard,
integrating conservation into their agricultural production, or initiating large-scale
projects through the local conservation district.

The 2026 National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Stewardship Week theme ‘Soil. Where it all begins!’ celebrates the importance of soil. Soil conservation practices, such as utilizing a no-till drill or planting a cover crop, reduce soil erosion, increase water infiltration, and cycle nutrients back into the soil. Every soil type and texture, from your backyard to agricultural fields, contributes to the health of our environment. As we continue to celebrate, we encourage you to get outside to see and experience the diverse soils in South Carolina.

In South Carolina, each Soil and Water Conservation District (district) works to conserve soil, including ones in your backyard, to ensure this vital natural resource can continue to support the food on our tables and the natural places we enjoy.

Governor McMaster has proclaimed April 26 - May 3, 2026, as SC Stewardship Week. There are 46 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (districts) in South Carolina. Districts are subdivisions of state government, divided by county lines, and charged with promoting the wise use of soil and water through locally led conservation. The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) hosts a Stewardship Week each year to celebrate different aspects of agriculture and natural resources. This year, districts are celebrating the importance of soil in South Carolina through the theme ‘Soil. Where it all begins!’. Follow along this week as we celebrate!

Earth Day is a reminder that caring for our planet starts right outside our door. It’s the perfect time to step outdoors, enjoy the beauty of nature, and appreciate the land, water, trees, and wildlife around us. Whether it’s planting flowers, picking up litter, hiking a trail, or simply spending time in the sunshine, getting outside helps us reconnect with the Earth and inspires us to protect it for future generations.
