Becky is busy in the classrooms this week! Students were able to examine soil and how important it is for growing crops and helping grow vegetation for wildlife. An added bonus was that they were able to play with worms and learn about their importance to the soil and breaking things down!

Today we welcomed the Ohio Coastal Management Program and the Great Lakes Coastal Symposium to the Libben Wetland Restoration & Agricultural Runoff Treatment Systems project area! District Administrator, Mike Libben, talked to the group about his family history here at this property along with the improvements that have been made. The ARTs program has significantly improved the soil biology here and he also mentioned the success of similar projects im Ottawa County improving agriculture and water quality. Nearly 50 individuals were in the group and had great questions about his farming practices and how important great drainage is to the farming community! Thank you to the Ohio Coastal Management Program for letting one of our projects be apart of your bus tour today!

Happy National Farmers day! Thank you to all the farmers in Ottawa County for working hard and keeping America fed! Your hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Make sure to thank a farmer today!

Originally celebrated in the 19th century as "Old Farmer’s Day" to mark the end of the harvest season, today remains a time to honor the hard work and resilience of American agriculture.

Happy National Farmers Day! Take a moment to thank a farmer today. 🌾🚜

Out of sight, but hard at work.

As Stormwater Awareness Week comes to a close, we're wrapping up our spotlight on Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) with one of the most hidden solutions: underground stormwater detention systems.

These underground systems temporarily store stormwater during heavy rains and slowly release it to help prevent flooding and stream erosion, all while saving valuable space in developed areas.

We hope you've enjoyed learning about the many SCMs that help protect our waterways and communities every day, often without us even noticing! Check out the graphic below to learn more.
