1 Volume 22, Issue 2 March/April 2019 CELEBRATE SOIL AND WATER STEWARDSHIP WEEK APRIL 28-MAY 5, 2019 CONVERSE COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT CCCD EXPRESS Soil is a dirty topic, but everyone needs to learn more about it! Soil is the foundation for many of the items we use in our daily life, such as food, clothing, clean water, and more. Healthy soil equals healthy food, which equals a healthy you. Don t treat your soil like dirt! The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and Converse County Conservation District (CCCD) encourage you to celebrate Stewardship Week with us! The Stewardship concept involves personal and social responsibility, including a duty to learn about and improve natural resources as we use them wisely, leaving a rich legacy for future generations. The 2019 Stewardship Week materials, with the theme Life in the Soil: Dig Deeper, are now available for FREE electronic download. CCCD is happy to print any of the materials you wish to use in your classroom, church, club activities or personal use. Visit our website to see a flyer of the materials available for this years Stewardship Week Celebration POSTER CONTEST Converse County Conservation District is excited to be sponsoring the 2019 Poster Contest using the theme Life in the Soil: Dig Deeper.

2 Southeast Wyoming SNOTEL Update This year s snow totals for the Laramie range have been slightly above average for most of the water year (Oct Sept. 2018). It is still a little early to tell what this year s snowpack will bring for the irrigation season. The current reading for the Lower North Platte River basin is 118% of median. Last year at this time the Lower North Platte River basin was sitting at 75% of median. Based on historical data we still have our wetter months coming up (March thru May) which should increase the snowpack for the Lower North Platte River basin and the rest of Wyoming. There are a total of four SNOTEL sites located within the Lower North Platte River basin that record snow depth and snow water equivalency (SWE). Currently the Casper Mountain SNOTEL site is sitting at a snow depth of 40 inches with a SWE of 10.8 inches which is 83% of median. Reno Hill SNOTEL site has the highest snow depth at 44 inches with a SWE of 11.2 inches and is 110% of median. Laprele SNOTEL site currently has a snow depth of 38 inches with a SWE of 9.1 inches and is 108% of median. Lastly Windy Peak SNOTEL rounds out the four sites with a snow depth of 29 inches and a SWE of 6.9 inches which is 95% of median. State wide we are sitting just above average for snow pack across most of the basins. The state SWE is currently at 110% of median, with a high in the Lower North Platte River basin at 118% and a low in the Tongue River basin at 88% of median. ~Jake Hogan UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department.

CCCD is a consolidation of the three original districts located within the borders of Converse County. The Glenrock Soil Conservation District was chartered on April 22, 1947 and the LaPrele Soil Conservation District was chartered on June 3, The Converse County Conservation District (CCCD) was formed from a combination of the Upper Cheyenne River Soil Conservation District (June 5, 1951) & the LaPrele-Glenrock Soil and Water Conservation Districts (February 19, 1963) and was granted a state charter on October 23, Converse County Conservation District is celebrating 40 years this year! CCCD is governed by a locally elected, five member Board of Supervisors. There are 3 rural members, 1 urban member and one at large member. These supervisors serve voluntarily and no monetary compensation is received. CCCD continually strives to develop locally-driven solutions to natural resources concerns. We provide several cost-share programs to assist with on-the-ground implementation of soil, water, rangeland, forest, wildlife, and farm projects. Technical assistance is always available free of charge. The mission of the Converse County Conservation District is to provide leadership for the conservation of Converse County s soil and water, protect the agricultural resource base, promote the control of soil erosion, promote and protect the quality and quantity of water, promote wise use of natural resources, preserve and enhance wildlife habitat, protect the tax base and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens through a responsible conservation ethic.
