Jim Wells County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) #355 has partnered with the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS), Texas Wildlife Association, and the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association to highlight Soil and Water Stewardship Week and the importance of voluntary land stewardship in Texas. The statewide campaign is April 25 through May 2, and the focus this year is Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities.
Forest landowners are an important part of Texas agriculture and the stewards of this resource. They work closely with their local SWCD and the TFS district office to implement conservation practices that promote the health and sustainability of forests and forest ecosystems. These privately-owned forests contribute significantly to the Texas economy and provide numerous environmental and social benefits.
