On April 18, 2018 staff members along with Board Members visited seven randomly selected sites and performed spot checks of installed best management practices. All were found in compliance. Pictured above is critical area seeding before and after. The practice was installed through NCACSP to prevent soil erosion. Dan River 319 Grant Program The Dan River 319 Grant Program was first awarded to Stokes County through an EPA Section 319 grant in October 2008 to improve the water quality of the Dan River by cost sharing with local landowners to install best management practices on their farms. The program ended on September 30, A total of three funding cycles were awarded over the 9 year grant period paying Stokes Co. landowners a total of $227,037. Practices installed by these landowners continue to protect the water quality of the Dan River. In the fiscal year the final Dan River 319 contract was written and installed totaling $5,951.

Pictured to the left is an ag. well installed through AgWRAP. Environmental Quality Incentives Program The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) representatives assigned to Stokes County.

4 Voluntary Agricultural District Program The Stokes County Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VAD) program promotes agricultural values and general welfare of the county by increasing identity and pride in the agricultural community and its way of life, encouraging the economic and financial health of agriculture, and increasing protection from non-farm development and other negative impacts on properly managed farms. Members of the VAD Board are: George Cutchins, Kay Jones, Derrick Joyce, Ryan Clark, Jimmy Dalton, Howard Gentry, and Keith Pierce. The Stokes SWCD advises and provides administrative support to the VAD Board. Farm Bureau, Farm Service Agency, and the Cooperative Extension Service also attend meetings in support of the VAD Board. In the fiscal year the VAD Board approved 10 parcels of land into the VAD program preserving an additional acres of farmland in Stokes County. There are currently 8, acres in the Stokes County VAD Program. No-Till Seed Drill During the fiscal year the Stokes SWCD no-till seed drill was used to reseed 99.0 acres of hayland, pastureland, and wildlife plantings in Stokes County. Conservation Easements The Stokes SWCD currently holds 3 conservation easements along areas of the Dan River and it s tributaries in an effort to protect riparian buffers for the benefit of water quality and to protect the river in its natural state. Pictured to the left is the most recently acquired easement on Little Snow Creek. This 3.57 acre easement was donated to the Stokes SWCD on July 10, 2017.
5 Flood Control Structures Watersheds The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has designed and constructed 24 flood control structures in Stokes County over the past 40 years. These structures provide flood control for 56,579 acres in the Town Fork Creek watershed area and 36,536 acres in the Little Yadkin watershed area. The Stokes Soil & Water Conservation District is responsible for the maintenance of these flood control structures which includes mowing, fertilizing, liming and debris/brush removal on 75 acres. In July and October of 2017 all dams and emergency spillways on the 24 watershed structures were mowed. The Stokes SWCD Board and office staff conducted annual watershed inspections on April 18 & 20, During these inspections toe-drain pipes were cleaned out, risers were checked for debris, and the front, top and backside of dams were checked closely for any eroded areas, leaks or scouring holes. Pictured to the left (top) is one of the 24 watershed structures in Stokes County (bottom) is the plunge pool and toe drain on the back side of a watershed structure. Volunteer Program Each year the Stokes SWCD has many volunteers that donate their time to assist and promote the conservation initiatives of the district office. In the fiscal year a total of 35 volunteers worked with the Stokes SWCD totaling 95 hours served. A special thank you goes out to all those who volunteered their time to promote conservation awareness. Pictured to the right is local beekeeper & volunteer Darrell Hampton teaching 5 th graders about Honey Bees at Environmental Awareness Days held in April 2018.

7 Pictured above is Sam Koch, Hanging Rock Park Ranger teaching the Plant & Animal Ecology station at Environmental Awareness Days Resource Conservation Workshop NW Envirothon Competition Environmental Awareness Days Each spring the Stokes SWCD sponsors Environmental Awareness Days for 5 th graders at Hanging Rock State Park (HRSP). At this event students participate in individual 20 minute workshops at which time they learn about topics such as soils, wildlife, forestry, weather, functions of the human body, the water cycle, honeybees and plant and animal ecosystems, all of which follow the NC Common Core Essential Standards for 5 th grade science. This year s event was held on April 26 & 27, 2018 with 313 students & teachers participating. April 25 was canceled due to rain and was not able to be rescheduled due to school & presenter schedules. The Resource Conservation Workshop is a week long intensive study and hands-on conservation workshop held on the campus of NC State University each year for conservationminded students in grades Each Soil & Water District in the state is allowed to send at least one student representative to participate in the workshop. The districts select a student from a pool of applicants and then registers them for the competition by paying the $425 registration fee and providing a $100 meal stipend. At their March 21 meeting, the Stokes SWCD Board Members chose Katherine Quesinberry (pictured to the right at the workshop) from South Stokes High School as our 2018 delegate. Pictured above are the 3 NW Envirothon teams from the Stokes Early College. The NW Envirothon is an environmental competition in which middle and high school teams from the northwest section of the state exercise their training and problem-solving skills by testing in categories such as: soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, wildlife and current environmental issues. The teams, each consisting of five students from participating schools, test as a group. The top scoring teams at the regional competition advance to the NC State Envirothon held each year in Alamance County in April. This year the Stokes SWCD sponsored 3 teams from the Stokes Early College to compete in the NW Envirothon held on April 10, 2018 in Wilkes County. A total of 300 students from across northwest NC participated in this year s event.

The 2018 event was held on April 5 from 6-9PM at North Stokes High School in Danbury. The cafeteria and gym were used as dining areas with a large stage set up for the Travis Frye & Blue Mountain bluegrass band in the gym. Soil & Water Board members and staff from all agencies served food to all in attendance. An expo was held on the upper level of the lobby featuring exhibits from all participating Ag. agencies, Farm Bureau, NCDA and many local businesses. Door prizes were donated by each agency and disseminated at 8PM along with a raffle drawing by the Stokes SWCD. There was approximately 500 people in attendance at this years event. Public Outreach The Stokes Soil & Water Conservation District produces and mails a bi-annual newsletter to 1,975 local landowners each year called Soil & Water News. In this publication announcements are made regarding all conservation programs offered and upcoming district events. The office staff also submits informative articles on new innovative conservation techniques, Farm Bill updates, and grants that are available. Each newsletter is posted on the district website ( This up-to-date website introduces local board members, lists details of all cost-share programs, lists all educational programs and contests, answers frequently asked questions, presents an up-to-date calendar of events, lists links, and office contact information. The website has been in production since 2006 and continues to be a useful tool in getting the conservation message to the public. As another means of outreach each fall the Stokes Soil & Water Conservation District displays a fairbooth at the Stokes County Agricultural Fair. The 2017 exhibit was titled Restoring Streams in Stokes County which highlighted stream restoration projects completed in Stokes County. Approximately 6,000 citizens attended the Stokes County Fair held on September 12-16, Pictured above is the 2017 Stokes SWCD Fairbooth titled Restoring Streams in Stokes County.
