legislative events

Events like these help us raise awareness of Georgia’s Conservation Districts in our State Legislature. The purpose of every event is to educate, tell the story of Conservation Districts, and discuss needs.

GACD coordinates several state legislative events every year including Conservation District Day at the Capitol and a luncheon for the Rural Caucus. In addition, GACD Board Members participate in advocacy with the National Association of Conservation Districts such as the Washington D.C. Fly- In where they discuss local Conservation District issues with our United States Congressmen.

If you are interested in helping us coordinate legislative events like these, please consider joining GACD’s Policy Committee by emailing GACD at info@gacd.us.

GACD hosted a legislative update luncheon on March 25, 2021 where we were honored to have Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission Executive Director Mitch Attaway,  Senate Natural Resources & Environment Chairman Tyler Harper and Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Chairman Larry Walker join us to provide remarks and legislative updates to our Conservation District Supervisors.

As the 2021 session comes to an end, GACD would like to thank our legislative partners for their time and service to our state, and for their dedication to resource conservation in Georgia.
