Celebrate and Support Local Conservation with Mesa Conservation District this August!
On August 4, 1937, the nation’s first soil conservation district was established in North Carolina by Hugh Hammond Bennett, widely regarded as the father of the conservation movement.
To honor this historic milestone, Mesa Conservation District is launching a Month of Giving!
Now more than ever, protecting our natural resources and sustaining our agricultural heritage is vital. You can celebrate with us and support local conservation efforts simply by dining at participating local businesses.
