Several youth education programs are popular in Lac qui Parle County. An SWCD employee visits every K-6 classroom in the county to introduce the SWCD’s coloring contest (K-2), picture contest (grades 3-4), and poster and essay contest (grades 5-6). The theme is based on the contests promoted by the Minnesota Association of SWCDs (MASWCD), and the SWCD develops an interactive presentation on the theme. Recent topics have included “Community Waters” and “Trees – Rooted in Our Future.” The SWCD created a Living Snow Fence project using funds generated by the Minnesota River Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Eligible landowners enroll in Continuous CRP and receive a one-time payment (like CREP) for an additional 15-year easement with the county for a total of 30 years. The county highway department identifi es the sites and reimburses the SWCD for half the costs. Trees lost to Dutch elm disease have been replaced through the efforts of the SWCD and the city of Madison. The city and SWCD received a MN ReLeaf grant of $12,000 and developed a Cooperative Working Agreement. The SWCD did the education, promotion, Lac qui Parle Soil & Water Conservation District grant management and planting event management. The project was so successful that the SWCD has received three additional requests for future projects. The fi rst-ever Lac qui Parle Outdoor Expo was held in 2007. The SWCD worked with the city of Madison Chamber of Commerce, the Lac qui Parle- Yellow Bank Clean Water Partnership coordinator and other partners to put on the event at the county fair grounds April 28-29. Tony Dean, James Meger and a wide variety of other speakers gave presentation on topics such as rain gardens, dog training and fi rst aid, bird watching 101, healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy people, and others. Outdoor activities like a kids fi shing derby, archery and sporting clay shooting were offered. Approximately 1,200 attended and plans are underway for 2008. By working closely with these partners, the SWCD was able to focus the event on the mission to increase awareness of relationships between people, wildlife and a healthy environment, and to build appreciation of western Minnesota resources. Top 5 Natural Resource Concerns 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Protect/restore soil health Protect/restore water quality (reducing priority pollutants) Improve surface water management Establish/maintain quality conservation tree plantings Coordination and partnering to get the most out of fi nancial resources to help landowners protect their natural resources Future Projects Lac qui Parle County Highway 31 Project -- The SWCD received a Clean Water Legacy grant to stabilize the bank of the Lac qui Parle River near the bridge where it crosses LqP CSAH 31. The project will be completed in the spring of 2008. Field Day -- Because of the quality of our Summer Success fi eld days (since 2004), the elementary principal for the Appleton/Milan school has asked us to sponsor a fi eld day at Lac qui Parle Valley School’s Emily Creek Environmental Learning Center for grades K-4. 75
