The Oklahoma Conservation Historical Society (OCHS) invites you to join us for two special events in April marking the 90th anniversary of two pivotal moments in American conservation history: the catastrophic Black Sunday dust storm of April 14, 1935, and the subsequent creation of the Soil Conservation Service on April 27, 1935.
To commemorate the Dust Bowl era and the dramatic impact it had on soil conservation in Oklahoma, OCHS is sponsoring the following events:
Remembering Black Sunday: 90 Years of Conservation in the Panhandle | April 22, 7:00-8:30 pm | Victory Memorial Methodist Church Family Enrichment Center, Guymon, Ok
This event will be held in the heart of the Oklahoma Panhandle — a region most severely impacted by the Dust Bowl. We will bring together community members, conservation experts, and government officials to reflect on our shared history and discuss the ongoing importance of sustainable land management practices. OACD, Cimarron County Conservation District, Texas County Conservation District, Beaver County Conservation District, and OCHS are cosponsoring this event.
