NACD Poster Contest and Official Rules The NACD 2024 theme “underscores the critical interplay between soil and water conservation and the resilience of our forests. Forests play multifaceted roles in sustaining our planet, serving as sources of oxygen, carbon storage, and vibrant hubs of biodiversity. They function as steadfast protectors of soil and water resources, preventing erosion, purifying contaminants, and nurturing healthy watersheds. In today’s context, marked by environmental challenges, resilient forests are indispensable in fostering a sustainable world. The phrase May the Forest Be with You, Always signifies our commitment to responsible forest stewardship, emphasizing their enduring strength and adaptability.”   MAEAP TechnicianThe Leelanau Conservation District is hiring a Technician to carry out the Michigan Agricultural Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP). The MAEAP Technician is responsible for delivering on-farm technical assistance in Leelanau and Benzie Counties.
