The National Association of Conservation Districts is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Past President Brent Van Dyke says NACD is no stranger to challenges because conservation districts were formed following the devastation of the Dust Bowl.
“Since then we’ve adapted over the years in the face of new technologies, new challenges, different funding, different legislation, new agencies, and a change in society,” he says. “Conservation districts and locally-led conservation models have been a successful legacy because of our ability to adapt to the local needs of our communities.
