The evening will also feature a 2026 Snow and Hydrology Forecast presentation by NRCS Colorado Snow Survey Supervisor Brian Domonkos. Dinner will be provided, and all landowners and community members are encouraged to attend and share their voices.

Attendance is FREE, but you must RSVP using the link below by March 16th.

What is a Local Work Group?

Rooted in the locally-led conservation process, Local Work Groups (LWG) make the connection between Conservation Districts, NRCS, State, local partners, and producers to work through an assessment of current natural resource concerns in a given area or region and to identify opportunities and challenges that NRCS and partners can address through their conservation programs. This input helps guide local decision-making and can influence state, regional, and national program and policy development.

In accordance with 7 CFR Part 610, Subpart C, Local Work Groups are subcommittees of the State Technical Committee and provide recommendations to USDA on local and state natural resource priorities and criteria for conservation activities and programs. This process can also be valuable to local and state leaders in the development of priorities, programs and policies.


What is an Annual Landowner Meeting?

Mesa Conservation District’s Annual Meeting is a time to celebrate our accomplishments and share the many conservation projects and successes achieved throughout the year. It’s also an opportunity to report back on the priorities identified during last year’s Local Work Group meeting and to outline the actions taken in response. Most importantly, the meeting provides a space for community members to share their ideas, insights, and concerns about local conservation efforts.

Held each year in early spring, this Landowner Meeting is open to everyone in our community—your participation helps shape the future of conservation in our district. Stay tuned for details about the 2026 Annual Meeting!
