2025 Soil and Water Stewardship Week
April 27-May 4, 2025

Whether you live in the city, the mountains, or by the coast, habitats are all around us. From urban parks to forests, wetlands to grasslands, these habitats are key to our survival. They help filter our water, protect our soil, and provide homes for wildlife. No matter where you are, your local habitat plays a role in keeping our environment healthy.

 

Join the Lancaster Soil and Water Conservation District, in partnership with the National Association of Conservation Districts, as we celebrate Stewardship Week 2025, from April 27 – May 4. This year’s theme is “Home is Where the Habitat Is.” Whether it's the Lindsey Pettus Greenway, Forty Acre Rock, Andrew Jackson State Park, or your neighborhood green space, we all depend on these places to stay healthy.

 

We’re here to help you learn how to protect and improve the habitats in our community. Let’s work together to keep them thriving!

​"Stewardship Week 2025, hosted by Lancaster County Soil and Water Conservation District in partnership with the National Association of Conservation Districts, is happening from April 27th to May 4th. This year’s theme, ‘Home is Where the Habitat Is,’ highlights the importance of protecting local habitats like forests, wetlands, and parks. Join us in celebrating these vital spaces and learn how you can help conserve and restore them. For more information, visit www.lancasterswcd.com."
