From the diversity of projects eligible for state cost-share programs, to the technical aspects of designing terraces and waterways, there is a lot going on at the Cowley County Conservation District and NRCS offices.  Right now is prime planting time for cool-season grasses such as brome and fescue.  It is also prime time for building or maintaining terraces.
Sometimes, however, a lot of work needs to be done in what seems like a short amount of time.  Small windows of opportunity present themselves to complete a variety of projects. It’s during these short lengths of time that everyone in the county is trying to do the same things.  Landowners and operators are working with contractors to plan, implement and complete a wide array of jobs. It is the same here.  We are busy designing and staking waterways, terraces and ponds, not to mention brush control and seeding.  Work continues with the Grouse Silver Creek and Upper Timber Creek Watersheds to protect and improve the quality of the watershed areas.
Together we can improve Cowley County soil and conserve our natural resources.
