"I am excited to work with local producers, community members, and teammates to share the importance of conservation and the services provided by the conservation districts and NRCS," Emily said.

The community is encouraged to call the district offices or email [email protected] to visit with her about local outreach or education events and collaboration opportunities with the district. Be sure to introduce yourself to Emily.
