2025 Conservation Poster Contest Theme
|
You will want to learn all you can about the important role of both natural and managed habitats. Habitats are the environment where a plant or animal naturally grows and lives. You can find resources at your school or public library or nature centers. Science books and local newspapers are also great resources as well as the Stewardship & Education section of the NACD website. Get guidance from your teacher or parents to find information on the internet about the connection between conservation and habitats. Ask your teacher and your local conservation district about projects and other possible resources in your community.

Soil Conservation Districts Help Habitats Since the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, along with state and federal agencies, have worked to reduce soil erosion and water degradation. Through education outreach and technical assistance to land owners, residents learn of the importance of our natural resources. |
