WAYNESBURG – As part of National Soil and Water Stewardship Week, the Greene County Conservation District will host a Conservation Service Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 11 at the Greene County Fairgrounds.

The service fair is designed to connect the community with the local civic organizations that are working to promote the county’s natural resources. These organizations will have an opportunity to network with potential volunteers, recruit members and promote their upcoming events and programs.

Booth registration is free, although space is limited. The registration deadline is April 29, and organizations should be conservation-minded in mission. During the service fair, the Conservation District will have giveaways and will also kick off a contest to design next year’s Soil and Water Stewardship Week logo.

National Soil and Water Stewardship Week will be held May 5-12. This year’s theme is “Where Does Your Water Shed?”

National Soil and Water Stewardship Week recognizes that fertile soil and clean water provide daily sustenance as well as security, and that effective conservation practices and stewardship have resulted in a richer standard of living.

For more information, or to register an organization for the Conservation Service Fair, call the Conservation District at 724-852-5278.
