May Ground Water Monitoring

On May 16th, the Conservation District completed the 17th round of monthly ground water monitoring for the Rock and Marsh Creek Critical Area Resource Plan. The ground water levels were higher in May then they were in April.  Typically, the ground water levels are highest in April. This is due to the dry April and rainy May. 

Wildflowers Galore

An abundance of wildflowers can be found around the watersheds this spring - from the riparian areas to the hillsides.  Take some time to get out and enjoy them! 

This photo was taken near Rock Creek on Natural Dam Rd.  Does anyone know what type of flowers these are?
