Soil and Water Stewardship Week is sponsored each year by the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD), whose members are 3,000 local conservation districts that manage soil and water conservation programs on private lands in every community. Since 1955, NACD has selected an annual theme and developed educational materials for for public school teachers and for churches of all denominations. An advisory committee composed of ministers and leaders from a number of religious denominations and environmental organizations reviewed the materials.

The Scott County SWCD distributes packets of information on Soil & Water Stewardship Week to all elementary schools in Scott County. Each teacher will receive a packet for their classroom.
