Established in 1943, the Leelanau Conservation District served as a resource for farmers to reduce soil erosion. Today, the Conservation District has expanded its emphasis to include all natural resources and to deliver technical assistance to all community members while also working alongside other governmental agencies and community organizations to promote the practice of environmental stewardship.
It is the nature of stone to be satisfied. It is the nature of water to want to be somewhere else.
Everywhere we look: the sweet guttural swill of the water tumbling.
Everywhere we look: the stone, basking in the sun…
—Mary Oliver, Gravel
