  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the Leelanau 
Conservation District as they celebrate their 75th Anniversary. Through 
its dedication to responsible natural resources management, land 
conservation, and a healthy environment, the Leelanau Conservation 
District has become an indispensable part of Michigan's First District.
  As an avid outdoorsman, I recognize the importance protecting our 
wildlife and natural resources through effective conservation. In that 
endeavor, the Leelanau Conservation District has been invaluable to 
Northern Michigan. First organized in 1943, the District works to 
promote the wise use of our natural resources through information and 
technical assistance to those throughout Leelanau County. From 
promoting healthy forests and responsible hunting, to fighting invasive 
species and preventing soil erosion, their work has been critical for 
the people of Michigan's First District. Our region is home to some of 
the most pristine natural landscapes in the country. I'm grateful for 
the Leelanau Conservation District's efforts to ensure that future 
generations can enjoy the same natural beauty we so deeply treasure.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to congratulate the Leelanau 
Conservation District for 75 years of service. Michiganders can take 
immense pride in knowing that the First District is home to such a 
trusted organization working to promote environmental and ecological 
health. On behalf of my constituents, I wish the Leelanau Conservation 
District all the best in its future endeavors.
