NACD In Action

Garber Stewardship Week Louisiana

This year's Stewardship Week theme, "Soil to Spoon," has opened up many opportunities for districts to partner with various conservation-minded organizations and groups. NACD President-elect Earl Garber joined district staffmember Karen Waltrip, of the Acadia Conservation District (Louisiana), to give presentations to students at the Mire and Richland Elementary schools. The Acadia Conservation District also started a year-long project to create a compost pile from the school's vegetable scraps and discarded produce from local grocers. Students plan on using the compost to development their own vegetable garden. Pictured: NACD President-Elect Earl Garber at Mire Elementary School.
