MASWD: Conservation Starts Locally

The Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts is hosting its annual convention this week in Bloomington, “We’ve had very successful opportunities with leveraging farm bill programs and especially with the Natural Resources Conservation Service with what they call the Regional Conservation Partnership Program,” reports LeAnn Buck, executive director, MASWD. Buck reminds everyone that conservation starts locally. “I really want to say kudos to those individuals who are really trying to look at their priorities and whether it’s Kittson County or Olmsted County or Lyon County, we just really want to acknowledge locally led conservation efforts.”
