National Association of Conservation Districts

NACD In Action

Conservation districts and other partners will play major roles in landscape-scale conservation efforts, federal partners said at the Tuesday General Session of NACD's Annual Meeting.

Similar themes were sounded by NRCS Chief Dave White, U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief Jim Hubbard and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe. Conservation spending is being increasingly tied to measurable outcomes, and that requires focusing resources in a coordinated, large-scale effort.

Attendees also heard from weather experts on extreme weather events and got a primer on how to handle media interviews from Tom Steever, president of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters. Pictured: Clay Pope of Oklahoma engages in a mock interview with Steever.

The 2012 NACD Annual Meeting is sponsored by the following partners: Monsanto; John Deere; Syngenta; The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company; Plum Creek; Pioneer; DuPont; U.S. Department of Defense; Bayer Crop Science; Association of Equipment Manufacturers; USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; AgriDrain; Bob Warner; Case IH; and the USDA Forest Service.
