This may be a bit off topic, but since so many responded or looked at this thread, I am curious. How many of you are now or have been a member of your local conservation district board? I serve on my local board and I do enjoy it very much. I am middle aged, but the challenge really, really is to get some young folks on board.
I ran for the board but didn't get in. I also was their education specialist for a year. Went to schools & worked w/ the students on projects & taught conservation. I also did articles, web page & meetings for the farmers & landowners. It was cool but I just wasn't an office person.
