Soil Stewardship

Since 1956, a national network of conservation districts has helped Americans learn to conserve natural resources. Stewardship Week is one of the largest national annual programs to promote conservation. Conservation practices in the United States have helped us achieve an historic standard of living. We enjoy a wide variety of fresh, healthy food. Drinking water supplies are clean and mainly free from disease. Lakes, rivers, and streams are much cleaner than 30 years ago. Air quality has greatly improved in the last fifty years.

Since 1955, National Association of Conservation Districts has selected an annual theme and developed educational materials for churches of all denominations. Each year local churches participate in the Soil Stewardship Week which is the last Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May. Participating churches are given free information to use in their weekly services and religious education classes. Contact the Conservation District if your church would like to receive this free information.
