Group to identify concerns about natural resources

The county conservation district is inviting farmers and others with ideas about natural resources to be part of a local working group to identify concerns.

The group will meet at 11:30 a.m. March 18 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 320 S. Cedar St., Marion, to make recommendations to the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s state conservationist.

The conservation district is hoping to attract a diverse audience focused on agriculture, including crop, livestock, and poultry producers; owners of non-industrial private forests; and representatives of agricultural and environmental organizations and governmental agencies.

Lunch will be served. Free reservations are being accepted until March 16 at (620) 382-3714 Ext. 3.
