Pictured: (Above) A fi eld windbreak being planted and (below) Tree matting is used to establish the windbreak to control weeds and conserve moisture for tree survival. Establishing fi eld windbreaks across the county has reduced wind erosion, provided wildlife habitat and improved water quality. The SWCD has worked with many Norman County landowners to install windbreaks. Norman County SWCD has successfully worked together with many agencies to implement small-scale conservation projects. SWCD staff work with landowners to identify water quality / quantity problems and work with the watershed district to obtain funding, permitting and construction dollars to implement these projects. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Norman Soil & Water Conservation District Pictured: Maintenance is being done to extend the life of a Multi Purpose Dam Install practices that will reduce wind erosion on agricultural land in Norman County Promote and install small fl ood storage projects Educate residents on appropriate uses of natural resources Reduce stormwater runoff to improve water quality Increase the number of wetlands in the county Future Projects Moccasin Creek Restoration: This project will restore the channel of Moccasin Creek and protect it with buffers and wetland restorations. The SWCD will work with adjoining landowners, townships, counties, watershed district, DNR, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, private environmental groups, state and federal government agencies to complete the project in the next three years. Home Lake Water Storage Project: The Norman County SWCD will work with the Wild Rice Watershed District, Norman County, Home Lake Township and local landowners to install a structure to control the lake level for water storage and create an erosion-free outlet. 111
