NACD In Action

2010 NACD Annual Meeting

Attendees of NACD’s 64th Annual Meeting returned home last week, but they left a lasting legacy at one of Orlando’s local schools. NACD Executive Board members helped 40 ninth-grade students plant a butterfly garden on the campus of Dr. Phillips High School. Most of the participating students lived in urban areas and had never planted anything or worked in the soil before. The project gave students a chance to learn how to properly put plants in the soil, create habitat for butterflies and other pollinators and bring nature and conservation into their urban surroundings. For more photos of the project and of the conference, see the 2010 Annual Meeting photo slide show. For more NACD in Action, click here.
