The Annual Work Plan is a GUIDE showing What, Who, When, Where, How, of 

 Conservation Problems that will be done this year,, 



Supervisors with assistance of any group or agency are responsible for recognizing 

 and developing a Conservation Program. Supervisors should ask for recommenda- 

 tions and cooperation from all groups and agencies and all groups and agencies 

 should voluntarily or otherwise make their proposals known to supervisors for the 

 development of a comprehensive integrated single district program. Annual work 

 plans should be worked out the same way. 



A district program is made up when the districts is first organized. Revisions 

 are made as conditions change, new research is developed, and other areas be- 

 come connected with Soil and Water Conservation. Districts in Montana are being 

 asked to revise their old programs so as to reflect more of the above areas of 

 Conservation. This should be done by July 1, 1963. An Annual Work Plan should 

 be made up on a yearly basis, usually in December prior to the new calendar year. 

 Observations are made all the time, so that new problems, means, etc. , can be 

 noted and included in the next plan. 



Programs and Plans are drawn up by individuals and brought together at the Dis- 

 trict Meeting place for acceptance, editing, and further writing up by a person 

 or persons designated to do so. Plans and Programs are given to everybody con- 

 cerned, and publicized. 



A district program is a basis for letting the Public know what the problems are, 

 what the benefits are, what is to be done and how, and why they should be con- 

 cerned. The district program is a basis for negotiating Basic, Supplemental, 

 and other appropriate agreements with departments, agencies, and groups, or 

 businesses. District programs and Annual Work Plans show what funds are 

 needed and why, who benefits, what the results will be. Districts are organized 

 under State Law to carry out a program of protecting its Soil and Water Resources! 



CONSERVATION IS EVERYBODYS BUSINESS, A SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION 



DISTRICT IS YOUR DISTRICT, COOPERATE WITH IT.
