Highlight of the Week

Stewardship Week 2025

NACD Stewardship Week is coming up! From April 27th to May 4th, the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and their state-level counterparts will be celebrating the progress we have made in soil and water conservation. With this in mind, MACD wants to thank all of Montana’s conservation districts for their stewardship of our state’s land and water resources. Without your tireless and diligent work, our state’s natural resources wouldn't be nearly as well preserved. In order to support your efforts, we have provided a list of Stewardship Week resources from NACD in the link above.
