Our Story
The North Dakota Association of Soil Conservation Districts (NDASCD) was born out of a shared commitment to care for the land that sustains us all. In the wake of the Dust Bowl era, when soil erosion devastated farms and communities across the Great Plains, North Dakota’s farmers, ranchers, and local leaders recognized the urgent need for sustainable land practices. They came together to form local soil conservation districts—grassroots organizations rooted in stewardship and community action.
​
To unify these local efforts and strengthen their collective voice, the NDASCD was established. Since then, we've grown into a statewide organization that supports all of North Dakota’s Soil Conservation Districts. We advocate for sound conservation policy, provide education and training, and foster collaboration between landowners, agencies, and partners who share a vision for healthy soils, clean water, and resilient landscapes.
​
Today, NDASCD continues to champion conservation across the state—helping North Dakotans care for their land, preserve natural resources, and pass on a thriving environment to future generations.
