About us...

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 topromote 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.

Conservation Education

Stewardship Week, celebrated every year from the last Sunday in April through the first Sunday in May, was established to promote the responsible use of natural resources. Conservation districts host workshops, field days, and other events to educate their local communities about  conservation practices and programs.

In addition to Stewardship Week, conservation districts host educational events throughout the year, covering topics such as best management practices for agricultural production, erosion control, water conservation, and improving wildlife habitat.  Find out more about upcoming events around the state.
