The conservation district office encourages you to think about your personal responsibility to be a good steward of all natural resources, including soil, during its annual Stewardship Week celebration. Conservation Districts has proclaimed May 22-June 5, 2011 as Stewardship Week, marking the 56th year of the national event. The 2011 Stewardship Week is themed “Forests for People More Than You Can Imagine!” encouraging citizens, schools and communities to develop and maintain a healthy forest and use good conservation practices.

Tom Brown acts as the Joint Chairman for the Logan County Conservation Districts. The Districts were formed to assist people in Logan County with conserving water, soil, forests, wildlife and related natural resources. During Stewardship Week, Logan County Conservation Districts will provide a copy of the educational brochure that you can use in your activities and other related materials are available at www.nacdnet.org.

If any church, school or civic group would like a program on this year’s theme “Forests for People More Than You Can Imagine.” Please contact Wesley Wright at 270-726-1371.
