In 2025, we provided a variety of education outreach programs, including teaching third graders about trees and distributing tree seedlings.  We continued supporting Urban Soil Health Group (FLASH) to assist small landowners with gardens and orchards.  We hosted a homestead tour to showcase diverse approaches to gardening, orchard management, and wildlife habitat education.  Additionally, we organized two successful fish sales.

We are limited on what we can spend our regular funding on throughout the year. So, as we grow with educational events, projects, and programs we need extra funding to help spread the word of conservation.

There are many ways to offer sponsorship to our agency.

• Monetarily is only one way to sponsor

• Volunteering to help with a project or event

• Contributing items to help a project or event to be successful

• Offering advice and other resources to help further conservation education

• Spread the word about soil and water health-be a teacher in everything you do.

Any combination of these would help all of us to help this Earth and our county.

If you choose to remain anonymous or just do not want to be recognized for all your efforts in helping the SWCD, but wish to donate in some way, you are more than welcome too. Just let us know at time of signup. All monetary donations are tax deductible. Many businesses in and outside of our county have become sponsors for several years now.

Will you become next on the list of such wonderful sponsors?
