As a part of Meeker County for 67 years, the Meeker Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) wants to remind you that each of us has a connection to natural resources. The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) is celebrating the 62nd year of Stewardship Week April 30-May 7, 2017. The 2017 Stewardship Week is themed ?ÄúHealthy Soils Are Full of Life!?Äù Soil is the starting foundation of all of the food we eat.
Joe Norman acts as the District Technician for Meeker SWCD. The District was formed to assist people in Meeker County in dealing with a wide range of conservation protection, flood prevention measures, farm forestry, wildlife improvement, recreation and rural area development within the 17 townships of Meeker County.

NACD represents the nation?Äôs 3,000 conservation districts, which were established to encourage resource conservation across the country.
