Dubuque County Supervisors and local communities are supporting sustainability and agriculture with their “Stewardship Week” proclamation, running this week April 26th through May 3rd.
The proclamation aims to boost soil conservation and water quality efforts for future generations.
The 71st Annual Stewardship Week, themed “Soil. Where it All Begins”, promotes nationwide awareness of the importance of soil, water, and natural resource conservation, which according to the Dubuque County Soil and Water Conservation District, are essential to the health and sustainability of the environment and communities. Communities participating in the proclamation include Cascade, Dubuque, Epworth, Peosta, Rickardsville, Sherrill, and Worthington.
During Stewardship Week, the Dubuque SWCD hosts a poster contest open to students in public, private, and home-school settings from kindergarten through 12th grade. The deadline for poster submissions is this Friday, May 1st. For the entry form and more information, visit dubuqueswcd.org.
