Alabama Association Of Conservation District

The Alabama Association of Conservation District is a non-profit organization based in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to promoting sustainable natural resource management, conservation education, and technical assistance for agricultural producers, land managers, and rural communities. Registered in SAM.gov since 2007, the organization focuses on developing environmental and educational programs that support conservation efforts and workforce development in Alabama's agricultural and rural sectors. Through its strategic partnerships and targeted initiatives, the Association works to enhance understanding and implementation of conservation practices across various community segments.

The organization has secured multiple federal grant awards primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's agencies, specifically the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Rural Utilities Service. These grants, ranging from $100,000 to $200,000, have supported comprehensive programs including soil and water conservation training, environmental education for middle and high school students, outreach and technical assistance for Soil and Water Conservation District employees and volunteers, and water infrastructure support for rural communities. Key grant programs include the Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA 10.902), Environmental Quality Incentives Program (CFDA 10.912), and Water and Waste Technical Assistance and Training Grants (CFDA 10.761). The grants have enabled the Association to deliver hands-on training, develop career pathways for students in conservation professions, provide technical guidance on water and wastewater management, and support agricultural producers through targeted educational and technical assistance initiatives.
