Local Conservation Priorities Breakfast Meeting
The Kendall County Soil & Water Conservation District is hosting a free breakfast meeting for farmers, landowners, and agricultural partners to collect input from the community on local conservation priorities. This is an opportunity for anyone connected to agriculture or conservation in our county to share their input on natural resource concerns and help shape local conservation programs offered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). More details listed below and in the attached flyer.
Your perspective is valuable, and we hope you’ll come enjoy a meal, connect with neighbors, and contribute to an important conversation about the resources we all depend on!
