"Conservation @Home: Building Community Resiliency" workshop to be held at the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts State Meeting
Too often we think one word can only be linked to one subject.
Take for example, conservation. There are those who immediately view it as a rural-only topic, focusing on medium to large farming and ranching operations.
“Conservation is for everyone,” said Sarah Blaney, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts (OACD).
That is precisely why “Conservation @Home: Building Community Resiliency” is the first workshop of the OACD State Meeting to be dedicated solely to the small, urban and suburban producer and homeowner.
