Meet Our Team

The friendly and professional staff of the SWCD works cooperatively with private landowners on soil and water related projects, such as cost share programs, lakeshore protection, soil survey, and pasture management to name a few. It is our goal to coordinate plans that will enable landowners to utilize their natural resources while improving water quality, conserving soil integrity and promoting plant and animal health.
