What's New?

 

New 2009 Stormwater Management Demonstration Projects: The SWCD helped two businesses mitigate the effects of stormwater run-off from their property with innovative stormwater management projects during this past summer. Click Here to view photos and learn more about these projects.

 


Small Acreage Stewardship Program: The SWCD recently launched a new program for small acreage landowners in south St. Louis County. Small acreage landowners are those with parcels 5-20 acres in size. Such parcels are often too small for other conservation or tax incentive programs. The Small Acreage Stewardship Program is completely free and voluntary and can help you learn how to be a good steward of your small acreage property. It is currently limited to landowners in the White Pine Watershed, but will hopefully be expanded in the future. If you are interested in learning more about the program or would like to participate, contact our office at 218-723-4867.

Miller Creek: Are you interested in restoring and preserving Miller Creek or trout habitat? SWCD staff are currently working on a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Plan for Miller Creek and would like YOUR input. The TMDL Plan is the first major step in removing Miller Creek from the State's "Impaired Waters" list.
