Mower SWCD Use of SWCD Aid Funds

Mower SWCD will utilize SWCD Aid funding to continue and enhance conservation delivery within our county. As landowners' needs for conservation programs have increased, so has the staffing required to fulfill those requirements. Mower SWCD remains committed to delivering the highest service to our community. SWCD Aid will allow us to deliver these programs at the highest level possible.

Cost-share available for well sealing

Mower SWCD continues to offer cost-share assistance to Mower County landowners who have an unused or abandoned well. Cost-share varies depending on the well's location in the county but all Mower County landowners are eligible for well sealing cost-share assistance.
