North Alabama State Fair Features Conservation

Personnel from Colbert County's Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and NRCS recently set up a joint information booth at the North Alabama State Fair.

During the week-long event in late September, information was distributed on backyard conservation, buffers, and web soil survey. Coloring books and bookmarks were available for the younger fair goers. Many of the distributed handouts were in English as well as Spanish.

In an effort to personally address all questions, the booth was manned each night by someone from the SWCDs or NRCS.

The Lauderdale County SWCD donated a bird feeder that was given away by drawing after the event. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Davis, from Spruce Pine, won the feeder.
