4 PURPOSE OF THE DISTRICT Conservation Development Self-Government is the theme of the district movement. Symbolizing the dedication of district officials to purposeful, constructive action in the field of conservation and resource development fundamental to American growth and prosperity. The White County Soil and Water Conservation District was organized by the rural landowners of White County in It is a legal subdivision of the state government. The district is responsible for leadership in the conservation of soil, water and related resources within the county. The district is managed by a board of supervisors, all county residents, serving without pay, who are familiar with conservation needs of the county. Three of the supervisors are elected by the landowners of the district, and two are appointed by the State soil and Water Conservation Board. Present Supervisors are Larry Kilmer, David Lachmund, Ryan Howard, John Fielding, and John Demerly. Associate Supervisors are Bruce Reynolds, Ed Stangle, Ralph Zarse, and Sharon & Steve Carlson. The purpose of the district is to determine the conservation need and develop programs for White County. The District assists both the rural and urban groups to develop and carry out these plans and to make the best use of all natural resources. This is accomplished through an effective program of assistance to landowners from the services available from local, state and federal agencies. Across the United States, the nearly 3,000 conservation districts are working to conserve and develop land, water, forests, wildlife, and related resources for the benefit of all. Over 17,000 men and women serve on the governing bodies of districts.

7 2016/2017 ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION GRANTS In 1998 the White County Soil & Water Conservation District initiated an Environmental/Outdoor Lab Grant Program. All schools, teachers, and youth organizations in White County were eligible to apply for funds up to $1000. Funds from the Affiliate Membership donations and State Grants were used. To date the District has awarded over $58, 600 in grants. Five Education Grants were awarded for the 2016/2017 school year: Meadowlawn Elementary Angie Alexander Butterfly Explorations. Students will observe different stages of the life cycle of a butterfly. Eastlawn and Oaklawn Elementaries Julia Hart Insect Investigations-Nature in the Classroom. Students will observe, journal, and photograph different stages of insect life cycles. Oaklawn Elementary Teresa Summers Birds and Butterfly Garden.

Students will work adding wildflowers to the garden and improving tree line/wildlife habitat. Twin Lakes High School Barb Alletto Community Health Profile.

8 ARROWHEAD COUNTRY RC&D EDUCATION Envirothon On March 16 th, 2016 the Education Committee hosted an Envirothon Competition for 8 teams with 40 students at Camp Buffalo. Four teacher/advisors and 16 volunteers also participated. Winners from Covington and Knox High Schools went on to the state competition that was held at the Beck Center at Purdue Tippecanoe River Expedition On September 6, 2016, the Arrowhead Country RC&D kicked off their 23 rd Annual River Expedition and for the third year, students from the Twin Lakes High School had the opportunity to join in the experience. The expedition is an educational river raft trip for high school students down the Tippecanoe River through Tippecanoe River State Park. Held on six days over a two-week period, the expedition is filled with resource learning sessions on Watersheds, Forestry, Water Quality, History of the Tippecanoe River as well as River Otters and Mussels. In addition to learning about the importance of the natural resources, the students learned to work as a team to answer test questions and to navigate the river on a raft. Indiana academic standards covered in this day of learning include Biology, Earth & Space Science, Integrated Chemistry-Physics, Natural Resource and Plant & Soil Science. At the end of the approximately three and one half mile journey, the rafts are pulled out at the nature center in the state park. Test scores for the day are tallied and the students on the raft with the highest score win a River Expedition shirt. More than 500 high school students, teachers and volunteers participated in this year s event.

9 Clean Water Indiana (CWI) Cover Crop Grant The SWCD was once again able to cost share with farmers to encourage the planting over cover crops. This a 50/50 match from the State of Indiana Clean Water Fund and White County Soil and Water Conservation District. We were able to provide $16,760 in cost share assistance for the establishment of cover crops on approximately 1,406 acres. Lake and River Enhancement Grant (LARE) The District received a LARE grant this year from the State of Indiana to help landowners/producers in the Big Pine Creek Watershed install conservation practices. This year $17,190 was provided with a total of 515 acres planted in cover crops. INfield Advantage INfield Advantage (INFA) began 2016 by holding a Winter Meeting to discuss the 2015 growing season. Our group was formed by local growers in the county to improve their nitrogen use efficiency in corn. This year, we had 7 local growers participate in INFA. Our local group is part of the state-wide program coordinated by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. Updated District Website In an effort to meet increasing use by cell phone and other portable device users, the District redesigned its website so it would be more compatible with mobile devices. Other improvements were added, including updated navigation tools, more pertinent links and other valuable resources. The site can be found at the same web address as its predecessor: whiteswcd.org
