Conservation Professionals Week

Here at SWCS, we are all about community. The conservation movement's most crucial asset is the growing community of people on the ground making it happen. It is hard work and not for the faint of heart. It takes people with steadfast curiosity and passion for our world's natural resources. It takes people who see the vision for our planet and are driven to ensure a long-term impact. It takes people that are not only not afraid to get dirty but actually enjoy playing in the SOIL! It takes people that do the work!

So August 28^th – September 4^th, SWCS is excited to host our first Conservation Professionals Week! The goal of this week is to lift up the amazing conservation professionals across the globe and bring awareness to the crucial work they do to protect and preserve two of earth's most vital resources, soil and water.We will share stories, spotlight members, and showcase all the amazing work conservationists do daily to make this world a better place.

Here are some ways you can get involved:
