Each year, the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the Association of Texas Soil and Water Conservation Districts recognize and honor individuals for their efforts toward preserving and being dedicated to conservation.

This year, the San Saba Soil and Water Conservation Board #250 recognized students from the Richland Springs, San Saba and Cherokee ISDs that participated in the Poster and Essay Contests. This program provides an opportunity for competition and incentives to expand and improve conservation efforts as well as the wise utilization of renewable natural resources.

Also, this year on behalf of the San Saba SWCD#250, the board recognized a Conservation Rancher in San Saba County. The Jennings Family who has been a vital part of the community, were awarded for their efforts in the ranching industry.

Thank you to everyone and Congratulations to all our Award Winners!
