CELEBRATE STEWARDSHIP WEEK WITH BROWN SWCD
BROWN SWCD PROMOTES 70TH ANNUAL STEWARDSHIP WEEK
Brown Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) in celebrating the 70th Annual Stewardship Week from April 27– May 4, 2025.
The theme for this year’s stewardship week is: “Home is Where the Habitat Is”
This year, for Stewardship Week, we are focusing on native habitats and how they are a key part of a healthy local ecosystem. Native habitats are characterized by great biodiversity of plants that creates a home for pollinators and all kinds of wildlife native to the area.
Brown County is home to many different habitats from wetlands and wooded bluffs to rolling plains and lakes. All these play a role in our functioning ecosystem and way of life. Some of these lands have naturally been this way while others are being managed to restore the native landscape that helps our ecosystem to thrive here in Minnesota. This week is a reminder that our local habitats are also our home as well as home to so many plants and animals that we share it with. So, take time this week, to appreciate the habitat that is your home!
