Grassroots Conservation



	GRASSROOTS CONSERVATION:
	Sweetwater County Conservation District- Land and Resource Use Plan and Policy - The Foundation provided funding for the development of a Land and Resource Use Plan and Policy. The Plan identifies and applies goals, objective, and policies to the state and federal regulatory framework that governs the management of private, state and federal land and the rangeland, soil, water and wildlife resources. This plan charts the course for local resource management and use for the Sweetwater County Conservation District. For more information visit www.swccd.us.
	Sheridan County Conservation District- With the support provided by Sheridan County Conservation District citizens, the Foundation continued support for the conservation programs and projects being carried out through the Sheridan County Conservation District. Priorities of the district include major watershed planning and implementation efforts within the Goose Creek and Tongue River watersheds. For more information visit www.sccdofwyo.org.
	Crook County Natural Resource District- W.C. Kenney Foundation- In 2006, the Crook County NRD and the Wyoming Natural Resource Foundation applied for funding to augment the Belle Fourche River watershed effort led by the District. Thanks to the support of the W. C. Kenney Foundation, the resources necessary to continue and enhance local water quality monitoring efforts were provided. The monitoring conducted through this project is just one aspect of an overall watershed improvement effort. This project continued to be implemented through the fiscal year with water quality monitoring activities occurring on the Belle Fourche River and Donkey Creek. The monitoring portion of the Belle Fourche watershed project supported with W. C. Kenney Foundation funds was completed in October 2007. For more information visit www.ccnrd.org.
