PACD Presents Session at Annual PSATS Convention

PACD Executive Director Susan Marquart co-presented a session at the 86th Pennsylvania Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS) Annual Convention & Trade Show held in Hershey on April 11-14. Close to 800 elected and appointed township officials participated in educational workshops providing information to help them better serve their constituents.

Conservation district partners presented a session titled "County Conservation Districts: Services for Townships." The panel included Karl Brown, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission, Susan Marquart, executive director of the PACD, and Charles Wertz, manager of the Lebanon County Conservation District. Steve Taglang, chief of the PA Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Conservation Districts and Nutrient Management, served as moderator. The workshop provided real world examples of how conservation districts and townships have worked together to protect the environment and natural resources. Approximately forty-five people attended the session.

Submissions Being Accepted until June 30 for the NACD Poster Contest

The NACD Annual Poster Contest will accept posters based on the theme from NACD Stewardship Week, "Water is Life." Each conservation district will be responsible for judging at the county level and for recognizing their local winners. The district may send the county's first place winning posters, one per division, to the PACD office. PACD will facilitate the state level judging and send those winners on to the national competition. Entries must be received by the PACD office no later than June 30.
