News from the Lake County Conservation District
LAKE COUNTY — In March, Lake County CD did a lot of outreach! Camryn, our Big Sky Watershed Corps member, tabled at Free the Seeds up in Kalispell on March 4 to spread the word about the Pollinator Initiative and rain garden projects in both Lake and Flathead County. On March 10, Camryn and Heidi traveled to the state capitol in Helena for Water Quality Awareness Day. There, Lake County CD spoke to people about the importance of pumping your septic tanks and how to keep them clean. Speaking of septic systems, have you applied for the septic cost share program this year? There are some more details here: https://lakecountyconservationdistrict.org/septic-maint-reimbursement/
Camryn also began teaching the fourth grade at K. William Harvey Elementary for Lake County’s Junior Conservationists Program. So far, there have been lessons on an introduction to conservation, water conservation, and soil conservation.
Lastly, pollinator seeds have been packaged! If you have signed up to receive pollinator seed this Spring, stop by the Lake County CD office in Ronan on April 10 and 11 or the Flathead Lakers Office in Polson on April 12. If you would like some seed, you can still sign here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvxuGpIAFfYsQD5QbLH6fbRVer90TACXRAlkiqqbJchjx6aw/viewform
