L&C NRD promotes stewardship week
HARTINGTON — The Lewis and Clark Natural Resources District, in partnership with the National Association of Conservation Districts, is celebrating Stewardship Week from April 26-May 3, 2026, with the theme “Soil. Where It All Begins.” The theme focuses on the incredible power of soil to support life in all its forms.
Soil is not just the ground we walk on. It is the starting point for healthy food, clean water, thriving habitats, and resilient communities. From backyard gardens to forests and city parks, everything begins with what is beneath our feet.
Soil does a lot more than grow plants. It holds water, cycles nutrients, and provides homes for billions of living organisms that help keep nature in balance. It keeps roots in place, helps prevent flooding, and supports wildlife and people alike.
The trees in our neighborhoods, the food on our tables, and the natural places we love all LCNRD is a member of NACD, which sponsors the annual Stewardship Week program, now in its 71st year. Stewardship Week is one of the largest national annual programs to promote conservation.
