Wetland Workshops |
|
The MCSWCD co-hosts workshops for municipal boards on wetland regulation, creation and protection issues. Typically 1-2 workshops are held each year with 40-70 attendees. |

Stormwater Conference & Exhibition |
|
The District began this conference in 1995 to educate a wide audience of engineers, municipal public works and planners on new technologies and products available for stormwater management. The conference has grown to the point that we expect 300 participants each year, predominantly from within Monroe County. |
|
Envirothon |
|
The MCSWCD also organizes the Monroe County Envirothon. This is an exciting program offered to high school students nationwide. Students from area schools team up each May to compete in five environmental topics. The winning team is given the county title and proceeds to the state level. The state winner moves to the national competition. The MCSWCD would like to thank all who helped to make the 2007 competition a grand success!
