If you've ever wondered who we are and what we do, here are examples of how we serve our constituentcy and support natural resources. The conservation district provides advice, facilitates funding, and helps implement projects by bringing people together. We recently held a tour to showcase a few things we've been working on.

Watering Tips: Prioritize high-value plants first. Trees need at least 10 gallons per inch of trunk diameter each week in summer. Next, water shrubs and perennials. Annuals and gardens come after, while lawns should be the lowest priority. See below for more information...

Have limited water? Prioritize plants that have the most value, then work down the list as your resources allow! Trees need at least 10 gal. per inch of trunk diameter each week during the summer. After trees, water shrubs and bushes. Prioritize perennial plants over annual plants (including gardens). Lawn grass should be given last priority.
