District Resources

NACD's mission is to serve conservation districts by providing national leadership and a unified voice for natural resource conservation.

Are you looking to buy a new computer for your district office? Searching for more detailed information on a specific topic? Ready to start a district website? Creating new stationery and need the "conservation c" logo? Planting a tree for the Olin Sims Living Legacy project? NACD can help meet these needs and many others through the resources we provide for conservation districts. Check back regularly for newly added resources!

District Guides
Designed with conservation district needs in mind, these guides provide helpful hints for district activities ranging from building an effective board to establishing effective relationships with lawmakers.

Computers for Districts
Computer workstations identical to those purchased under the USDA contract are available to conservation districts and RC&D Councils direct from the current USDA contractor. A new district computer purchased through the USDA contractor may be made CCE compatible and connected to the USDA network without cost to the district.

District Official Training Program Recognition
NACD's District Officials State Training Recognition Program, established in the spring of 2010, recognizes states that have developed and implemented a statewide district official training program.

Tree Planting: Olin Sims Living Legacy project
