The Georgia Association of Conservation District Supervisors, a nonprofit organization founded in 1943, is dedicated to the protection and conservation of our state's natural resources. Our 370 members volunteer their time and resources in each of Georgia's 40 soil and water conservation districts to promote conservation. GACDS' goals include educating citizens about the importance of conservation, promoting new and innovative conservation practices, and informing policy makers on natural resource issues.
Our mission: To protect, conserve and enhance Georgia’s soil and water resources through the promotion of conservation best management practices.
Stewardship Week, celebrated annually from the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in May, focuses on the responsible management of our natural resources. Districts sponsor educational programs and outreach efforts to bring attention to the benefits of conservation. Governor Sonny Perdue helped kick-off the celebration by signing a Stewardship Week Proclamation, which proclaims April 27-May 4, 2008 as Stewardship Week in Georgia.
