NACD In Action

Tree Planting

More than 40 friends and partners gathered last week to plant a tree in honor of 2007 NACD President Olin Sims. The ceremony took place at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. where leaders from NACD, USDA, NRCS, USFS, NCDEA, NASCA, NARC&DC and the National Arboretum planted an American Chestnut tree (donated by the U.S. Forest Service). The planting is a part of NACD’s Olin Sims Living Legacy program, which encourages conservation districts and individuals to plant a tree in memory of Olin and his work with conservation.
