GACD ANNUAL MEETING 2022
RSWCD Supervisors joined District Supervisors
across Georgia for Conservation
Several supervisors from the Rockdale Soil and Water Conservation District (RSWCD) were able to attend the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts (GACD) 2022 Annual Meeting. The GACD Annual Meeting brings together District Supervisors from all over the state for workshops and training on conservation planning. RSWCD Supervisors were able to obtain additional training and certification in Best Management practices and laws governing erosion and sedimentation. RSWCD Supervisors obtained valuable knowledge to secure funding for Rockdale County conservation and community engagement. Information was presented on the Georgia Legislature’s adopted 2023 fiscal budget which provided a significant increase to conservation funding in Georgia. An additional $772, 300 was appropriate to the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission to support conservation efforts across the state including Rockdale County. The GACD Annual Meeting enabled RSWCD Supervisors to strengthen partnerships on both the state and national level to increase the capacity for RSWCD to deliver conservation planning to Rockdale citizens.
