The La Salle County Soil and Water Conservation District, located in Ottawa, IL, is dedicated to promoting sustainable farming practices and protecting natural resources. With a focus on soil erosion prevention and water quality improvement, the district offers a range of services and programs, including the S.T.A.R. Program, conservation farm family recognition, and outdoor education areas.
Through their partnership with the USDA Farm Service Agency's Conservation Reserve Program, the district works closely with local farmers like the Nagel family to implement various conservation practices on their farms. These practices, such as grassed waterways, filter strips, and pollinator habitats, not only safeguard the soil from erosion but also enhance wildlife habitat and promote overall soil health.
