SCCC is a member driven organization; and membership support continues to help the SCCC grow in size and influence. Members help the SCCC bring conservation issues to the attention of government, producers and the general public.
Resources provided through memberships is used to:
- Allow SCCC executive members to bring grassroots input to national committees where policy and programs for agriculture and the environment are developed.
- Give SCCC directors the opportunity to participate in government and applied research planning exercises where key issues to producers can be presented and major gap areas identified.
- Continue the development of the SCCC's Taking Charge Teams. Over the past six years SCCC has worked with member organizations and AAFC to develop a network of producers and agrologists who design and deliver agriculture and environment programs for producers.
- Resources from membership help to develop communication materials, National Soil Conservation Week awareness items, and responses to media questions to continue to help educate producers and the public on what farmers and ranchers can do to help maintain and enhance resources.
- Membership support helps the SCCC develop position papers and submissions to government on pertinent national issues for agriculture and the environment.
Join the SCCC today to help bring the issues of conserving our vital agricultural resources – soil, water and the other associated resources such as air and wildlife – to the attention of policy designers.
