Join us for Chamber Coffee

hosted by the

Bourbon County Conservation District
Thursday, April 24th

8am

at

Bourbon County Conservation District

1515 S. Judson St.

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee hosted by Bourbon County Conservation District, 1515 S. Judson St., Thursday, April 24th at 8 a.m. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930’s began a movement to address the erosion of the earth’s topsoil. Hugh Hammond Bennett is recognized as the “Father of Conservation” for founding the Soil Conservation Service in 1933, now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service. His work led to the establishment of over 3,000 Conservation Districts in the USA, highlighting his significant impact on conservation efforts in the country.

The Bourbon County Conservation District was formed on May 11th, 1945 with the mission of “Protecting what we have today to have something left for tomorrow”. This year the BBCD is celebrating the District’s 80th year. They are committed to continuing to help landowners preserve and protect their natural resources of soil & water. District Manager Mandy Shoemaker and the Conservation District Board are excited to host the Chamber coffee and welcome everyone to attend.

Chamber members and guests are invited to Chamber Coffee events each Thursday at 8 a.m. to network, make announcements, hear about happenings in the community as well as learn about the host business or organization. Future Chamber Coffee locations may be viewed on fortscott.com/events by selecting the category of Chamber Coffees.
