Conservation Districts serve as community support by linking county residents and farmers to essential resources related to agriculture and conservation. Each Conservation District is managed by a Board of Supervisors elected to oversee office operations. What benefits do conservation districts gain from having an elected group of supervisors, and how can this process help influence diversity? Extra points are awarded for writing in a 3.5 paragraph format.

This program is offered by FCCD to fund a one-time scholarship payment of $1,000.00.  

Two second place awards of $500.00 will also be granted on a one-time basis.
