Great Ad from Montana DEQ

A supervisor at the Conservation District recently ran across the following ad on TV, placed by Montana DEQ.  It stresses the importance of riparian/streamside vegetation, especially native vegetation with cottonwoods and willows etc. If you are a new landowner in Lewis and Clark County, or even an established one, please take heed.  Leave the vegetation alone.  You are also considered to be in violation of the Montana Streambed and Land Preservation Act of 1975 if you remove the vegetation without a 310 permit from the Conservation District. https://youtu.be/g5CEAwSrW2M

New Landowner Resource Concern Survey

As part of our annual planning operations, the Conservation District has a new survey for landowners to report natural resource concerns to us.   Residents of Lewis and Clark County are asked to take this short survey, giving feedback on new concerns about our natural resources in the county or ongoing concerns.   The Conservation District will utilize the feedback we receive as we look at program development, budgeting,  collaboration with other partner organizations such as the NRCS, and in our planning revisions for our long-range-plan. Please take just a minute or so to fill this out for us!
