Iowa Grundy Soil and Water Conservation District celebrates 75th Soil and Water Conservation Week!

The Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District is excited to announce the 75th Annual Soil and Water Conservation Week!

The week is an opportunity to recognize the important conservation practices placed on Iowa’s landscape and bring attention to the ongoing work by farmers, landowners and urban residents to protect the state’s soil and water resources.

Iowa’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and others provide leadership in soil health, soil conservation, water quality and the protection and enhancement of Iowa’s natural resources.

“Much has been accomplished in the last 75 years of conservation work in Iowa”, states Robert Lynch, President of Conservation Districts of Iowa, the state wide organization that supports Iowa’s elected Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners who work within our local communities to provide resources that assist landowners in caring for the land. “We celebrate these accomplishments during this week and seek to communicate the opportunities all Iowans have to become involved in conservation through their local soil and water conservation district.” Lynch

The Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District offers planning, technical and financial assistance, youth education, purchase of native trees and plants, etc.
