Resolution 1015 celebrates April 27, 2025, as the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the USDA Soil Conservation Service, now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The resolution acknowledges the significant impact of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, which prompted a national commitment to soil conservation.

The resolution commends the past and present employees of the NRCS for their dedication to conserving Oklahoma's soil and water resources. It highlights the effective partnerships between the NRCS, Oklahoma's conservation districts, and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, emphasizing the ongoing benefits of their work for landowners striving to be responsible stewards of their land.
