69TH ANNUAL STEWARDSHIP WEEK

BROWN SWCD PROMOTES STEWARDSHIP WEEK

Brown SWCD, in partnership with the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD), is celebrating the 69th Annual Stewardship Week from April 28 to May 5, 2024.

This year’s Stewardship Week theme is “May the Forest Be with You, Always.” We encourage you to read more about this topic below.

This year’s Stewardship Week recognizes the importance forests serve in the protection of soil and water resources, preventing erosion, purifying contaminants, and nurturing healthy watersheds.

Regardless of where you live, you’ve seen a tree before, maybe even sought shade beneath one. Trees play an essential role in everyone’s life. In cities and other urban environments, trees improve air quality, provide shade, and reduce stormwater runoff. Meanwhile, forests act as protectors of soil and water, preventing erosion, purifying contaminants, and nurturing healthy watersheds. Whether it’s the few trees outside your apartment, the cluster of trees in a nearby park, or a forest, trees are silently working by our side, always.

Brown SWCD encourages residents to visit the NACD Stewardship Week website page for more information and resources about “May the Forest Be with You, Always.”
