Bill > SR69

This resolution designates the week of April 20 through 26, 2025, as "Conservation District Week" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the important role of conservation districts as local government units established to manage natural resources. The resolution provides context about conservation districts, explaining that they were created in 1945 in response to the Dust Bowl, exist in nearly every Pennsylvania county, and work with landowners, local governments, and various partners to protect and manage land and water resources. Conservation districts are led by volunteer boards of directors comprising farmers, public members, and county government representatives, who identify local conservation needs and develop strategic plans. By designating this specific week, the resolution aims to recognize and celebrate the critical environmental stewardship work performed by these local organizations in helping to conserve and protect natural resources across Pennsylvania.
