Adult Workshops
There’s a MAP for That - Thursday, March 23 @ 6 p.m.
Heads up! Pickaway SWCD and GIS are partnering to host a workshop on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at the Pickaway County Library. The workshop will show attendees how to utilize the free resources on Web Soil Survey and the Pickaway County Auditors and GIS Websites. Attendees will learn how to conduct parcel and property searches, research soil types and other property characteristics, and more. These websites are both handy to know how to use and free to anyone with a computer and internet, and we plan to show you how to use them! We will be meeting in the computer room at the library at 6 p.m. There will be spots for 10 people to use the computers in the room. If others would like to come and bring their own laptop, that will be an option as well. We plan for the workshop to last around an hour and a half in the evening.
RSVP by emailing katerina-sharp@pickawayswcd.org or by calling the office at 740-477-1693.

2022 Conservationist of the Year
2021 award recipient Keith Peters and Pickaway SWCD Board President Jonathan Lohstroh presented the award to the Gifford Family.
|
The Pickaway Soil and Water Conservation District would like to offer a huge congratulations to the Gifford Family for being chosen as the Pickaway SWCD 2022 Conservationists of the Year!
The Gifford Family have been with our organization as cooperators since 1988. Since their first commitment to establish conservation methods on their farms, they have installed over 54,200 feet of sub surface drainage tile systems on different farms and almost 300 acres of the Conservation Enhancement Reserve Program of warm season grasses along the Scioto River. Other various methods of conservation include installing filter strips, planting cover crops and implementing a Nutrient Management Plan. One of the family members has also worked with our office on the construction of waterways as a contractor. Our office has enjoyed working with the Gifford Family for the past several years, and we are excited to continue working with them to conserve our natural resources here in Pickaway County. |
