DESCRIPTION
Established during the Dust Bowl era, the nation’s conservation districts have a long history of providing natural resource management assistance to individuals and communities. Although best known for their on-the-ground work with farmers and ranchers, districts also provide technical information and assistance in developed and developing areas. This session will describe their structure, give examples of their work in urban and community forestry, and share how you can benefit from their technical expertise.
