An impactful day for the National YAP students! Today, they attended the AL RC&D Councils annual meeting. They also experienced the powerful Hate Ends Now: The Cattle Car Exhibit at the Montgomery State Capitol, gaining valuable historical insights.

During Black History Month, we honor and celebrate the contribution of Black farmers, ranchers, educators and more who have made agriculture and conservation what it is today! ✨

🌿We loved sharing about our partnership with St Mary's College MD Center for Career & Professional Development at the NACD Annual Meeting that created 12 exclusive summer internships with RC&D Councils nationwide! 🎉 Due to its success, we’re expanding for spring & summer 2025!

New funding opportunities are available each week on our homepage. buff.ly/3LyfMz0 Current opportunities include: - Mosaic - Dennis and Barbara Marion Family Charitable Foundation - The Chawkers Foundation - GSMA Innovation Fund

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! 🌿 Throwback to when Lumberjack Resource Conservation & Development Council showed us their beetle cage, where they rear Galerucella beetle! 🐞These biocontrol agents help restore balance by keeping this purple loosestrife in check.
