Temple, Texas -- The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is excited to announce that registration is open for the 85th Annual Meeting of Texas Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Directors, taking place September 29 – October 1, 2025, at the Kalahari Resorts & Conventions in Round Rock, Texas.

This event will gather hundreds of SWCD directors, employees, and conservation partners from across the state to explore innovative solutions, celebrate achievements, and chart the future of Texas conservation.

This year’s Annual Meeting theme, Navigating the Winds of Change, celebrates the resilience, innovation, and adaptability that define Texas’ conservation community. As challenges evolve, from emerging technologies to shifting priorities, our Soil and Water Conservation Districts, partners, and producers are charting a steady course forward. Together, we honor the legacy of stewardship while embracing fresh ideas and new directions to protect the natural resources that sustain us all. Join us as we set sail into the future, guided by collaboration and a shared commitment to conservation excellence.

The Spouses’ Auxiliary will host a business meeting and breakfast, followed by a Chair Yoga activity from Round Rock Yoga.

On Wednesday, participants are invited to join a guided conservation tour showcasing some of the Flood Control Structures in the area.

Pre-Registration closes on September 2, 2025. While on-site registration will be available at the event for a higher cost, early registry is strongly encouraged. For more information regarding registration and program details, click here.
