The Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts (OACD) is primed and ready for its annual meeting starting Sunday afternoon, February 22 and running through Tuesday, February 24. The meeting will take place at the Reed Center in Midwest City.
"This is a great time for the state's leaders in conservation to get together and chart our course forward for the coming year," said Kim Farber, OACD President. "The meeting theme is "Back to the Future" to honor our rich history of accomplishments, while also bringing attention to pressing conservation needs in Oklahoma."
The meeting will be both entertaining and educational. The keynote speaker Monday morning will be Oklahoma's Second District Congressman Markwayne Mullin. Other topics to be covered include improving soil health, water quality and maintaining upstream flood control dams.
"Its important for everyone to realize that without the diligent work of conservationists over the past eight decades, we would be smack dab in the middle of another dust bowl as we enter our fifth year of crippling drought," said Farber.
