District Projects & Events

Annual Arbor Day Tree Give-Away

The Henry County Conservation District, in partnership with the Henry County Board of Commissions, Master Gardeners and Extension Office, The Cities of McDonough, Locust Grove and Hampton host their annual Tree Giveaway every year in mid-February.

Soil Stewardship Week

For more than 50 years, NACD has sponsored a national program to encourage natural resources stewardship. The program relies in large part on conservation districts as they share and promote stewardship and conservation activities year-round and during Stewardship Week, the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in May.

Envirothon

The Georgia Envirothon is an exciting natural resource education program designed to challenge students in an interactive, outdoor competition where middle and high school teams (consisting of 4-6 students) are tested in areas of Wildlife, Forestry, Aquatic Ecology, Soils and Land Use, and a Current Issue. Teams take written and hands-on tests outside and give presentations based on the chosen Current Issue. Students can compete at the Regional, State and North American levels.

NRCW

The Natural Resources Conservation Workshop is available to Georgia’s Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. The Workshop focuses on the value, protection, and conservation of Georgia’s wildlife, forestry, soil, and water resources, including conservation in Georgia’s mining industry.

NACD Poster Contest

The annual NACD and NACD Auxiliary Poster Contest provides students from kindergarten through 12th grade the chance to have their art displayed as part of a national conservation outreach initiative. Each year, the winning posters reflect NACD’s annual Stewardship theme, and highlight the work of conservation districts and their state conservation associations, auxiliaries, and agencies to protect and enhance natural resources. The contest starts at the district level; winners advance to the state level, and then to the national level, where they receive recognition at NACD’s annual meeting.


Meeting Information

The Conservation District meetings are held on the First Tuesday of each month at the Henry County Farm Bureau, 117 Racetrack Road, McDonough, GA 30253 at 8:30 a.m. unless publicized otherwise.
