It’s almost time for our Annual Meeting and Banquet, and a Keynote You Won’t Want to Miss!

We’ll share district and partner updates, then collect input through the NRCS Local Work Group Survey-a direct way to influence what conservation support looks like locally.

Dinner starts at 5:00 pm on March 25 in the WCU North Ballroom (doors open at 4:30 pm). Come be part of the conversation. We’re excited to welcome Dr. Joe Brummer as our keynote speaker and to hear your input on local NRCS priorities. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gunnison-cd-annual-meeting-and-banquet-tickets-1983978926376?utm-campaign=social&utm-
