Thank you to the staff and 4th-grade students at Orchard Avenue Elementary for partnering with Mesa Conservation District! Students explored local microhabitats, native plants, and the complexities of irrigation through hands-on activities. This program was supported by funding from the Colorado Basin Roundtable's Public Education, Participation, and Outreach (PEPO) Committee.

We are excited to collaborate with School District 51 Foundation again in the future!

🌿 Fight Back Against Noxious W**ds — Get Help Paying for It!

Mesa Conservation District's Noxious W**d Management Cost Share Program is here to help landowners tackle invasive w**ds on their property — including Tamarisk, Russian olive, and Russian knapw**d.

✅ Cost-share funding for approved w**d control methods
✅ Open to landowners in the Mesa Conservation District
✅ Protect your land, your neighbors' land, and local waterways

Early, coordinated management keeps noxious w**ds from taking over — and helps keep our rivers, soils, and rangeland healthy for everyone.

Questions? Reach out to Mesa Conservation District — we're here to help you manage your land and your budget. 🌱

Please join MCD in welcoming our new District Manager, Bella Zastrow! 😄

After growing up in Grand Junction, Bella moved to Fort Collins, where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Biology and a Master's of Science in Conservation Leadership from Colorado State University. About 5 years ago, she returned to the Grand Valley to reconnect with the people, agriculture, and public lands of the Western Slope. As the District Manager, Bella is excited to expand MCD’s base of local relationships while streamlining the organization's programs. In her free time, Bella volunteers at RiversEdge West and serves as a steering committee member for the Southern Rockies Conservation Alliance.
