Temple, Texas TEMPLE, TX – The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is pleased to announce that pre-registration is now open for the 86th Annual Meeting of Texas Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Directors. The Annual Meeting will be held September 28–29, 2026 at Kalahari Resort in Round Rock, Texas, bringing together conservation leaders, district directors, employees, and partners from across the state to celebrate successes, share ideas, and strengthen Texas conservation efforts. This year’s Annual Meeting theme, “Stewardship Through Every Season,” highlights the enduring commitment of Texas conservationists who work year-round to protect and enhance the state’s natural resources. Just as each season presents unique opportunities and challenges, Soil and Water Conservation Districts continually adapt their efforts to meet the evolving needs of Texas agriculture, communities, and landscapes. Through every drought and rainy season, planting and harvest, conservation remains a steadfast investment in the future of Texas. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in educational sessions, hear from industry and conservation leaders, network with fellow conservation professionals, and recognize outstanding achievements in natural resource stewardship across the state. The Ladies’ Auxiliary will once again offer attendees an opportunity for fellowship and fun during the Annual Meeting. The Auxiliary’s activities will begin with a breakfast and business meeting, followed by a morning of bowling at Kalahari’s on-site B-LUX bowling lanes. The Annual Meeting will also feature the Conservation Awards Program Luncheon where we will be celebrating the accomplishments of our Texas Conservation Award Winners! The meeting will also include exhibitor showcases, business meetings, and opportunities to connect with conservation partners from throughout Texas. Additional information regarding registration, lodging, the conference agenda, and special activities is available on the Annual Meeting website.
