The Mississippi Association of Conservation Districts (MACD) is a non-profit organization that represents the 82 Soil Water Conservation Districts in Mississippi. Established in 1945, MACD is governed by a 31-member Board of Directors and aims to be the voice of conservation in the state.
Soil and Water Conservation Districts were formed in response to the ecological disaster of the Great Depression, with the goal of addressing soil erosion and promoting conservation practices. Today, there is a district in every county in Mississippi, working to implement farm conservation practices, protect wetlands and wildlife habitat, and educate communities about the value of natural resources.
