Grant Awarded by the National Association of Conservation Districts

The NACD Urban Agriculture Conservation Grant Initiative provides the Ferry Conservation District with funds to plan and implement a community garden within the town of Republic. Establishing the garden's location was done after partnering with the Republic Church of the Nazarene and forming a planning committee. The next steps are to purchase materials and equipment needed to implement the garden. After a year of planning and applying for the next round of funding, the Ferry Conservation District officially received the NACD UAC Grant Award. Construction began in Spring of 2025.
