Local Conservation District Wins National Award

The Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District received the 2007 Excellence in Communications Award from the National Association of Conservation Districts during their Annual meeting held in Reno, Nevada in February.  The District was recognized for their efforts to better inform people of the importance of conserving and enhancing our natural resources.

 The District effectively utilized numerous outlets and mediums to reach both urban and rural community members. The District publishes an annual report, website, informational brochures, a bi-monthly district newsletter and an educator newsletter for local teachers.  They also host many events, including an art and photo competition, a conservation air tour, “Camp Adventure” day camp, an annual tree sale and county tours for elected officials, just to name a few.  Muskingum SWCD remains in the public eye through press releases and public service announcements, newspaper articles in the Times Recorder and bi-monthly Live-at-Noon segments on WHIZ-TV news. Through its outreach efforts, the District maintains an active, informative relationship with the community.
