CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Minnehaha CONSERVATION DISTRICT. Have you ever put those two words together and actually thought about what they mean? The word “conservation” isn’t so difficult, but a “conservation DISTRICT”? Why does there have to be a district? And what does a conservation district do, anyway?
The National Association of Conservation Districts has put together an excellent video explaining all of that. This 10-minute video showcases the history and unique journey of the conservation movement, and provides a brief overview of conservation districts and the services they continue to provide to America’s landowners. It features testimonials from farmers, ranchers, and tribal leaders expressing their appreciation for districts as well as their vision for the future. While this video could only scratch the surface of the incredible work the nation’s conservation districts do, it serves as an introduction to the philosophy behind the nation’s conservationists and can be used as an educational tool for the locally-led mission. We not only hope you enjoy from it, we hope you learn from it.
We are at your service!
