| "We're there - in Classrooms, in Cornfields, and
Cul-de-sacs"
As our communities change, land use changes.
Decisions that property owners make will impact our natural resources.
Continued investments in conserving and promoting stewardship of our land
and water resources will help ensure that future generations will enjoy
the best Ohio has to offer for outdoor experiences and abundant food and
water.
The soil and water conservation districts aim to
educate all ages about conservation through various formats:
 | Youth - classroom presentations, field trips, teacher
training, Envirothon competitions |
| Agricultural - field days, manure management, soil
testing workshops, and equine management |
| Urban - rain gardens, storm water management,
non-point source pollution awareness |
| General Public - soil information, backyard wildlife,
pond clinics |
For decades, hundreds of local officials and communities
have reaped the environmental, economic and political benefits of SWCD
staff communicating good science. Detailing natural
resource impacts at planning and zoning meetings; explaining erosion and
sediment control regulations at workshops, and acting as advisor in the
development and implementation of storm water management plans. Current
and Upcoming Education Programs: 2008
