Testimony and Input

NACD's mission is to serve conservation districts by providing national leadership and a unified voice for natural resource conservation.

Congress and Federal Agencies regularly invite NACD officers and members to provide on-the-ground perspectives on conservation policy. Whether it is providing testimony before Congress, writing letters to committee leadership or Administration officials, or submitting comments on policies to agencies of the executive branch, NACD voices the priorities of Conservation Districts.
