PUBLIC OUTREACH Wayne SWCD provides numerous opportunities for the public to learn more about conservation and the environment. The most recognized event is during the Wayne County Fair held in September of every year. Visit our FAIR BARN and you can get educational information about our office, the programs available, upcoming workshops, conservation farming practices, take a guess at out our contest & see the poster contest winners. There is also a RAIN BARREL on display, and information about our ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS we used. Besides using rain barrels, an innovative landscaping technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff is the rain garden. These conservation "gardens" are growing in popularity and not only look beautiful, but help the environment. Check out these links to some excellent resources for starting your own RAIN GARDEN. Area educators, or interested individuals are welcomed to attend our EDUCATOR WORKSHOPS that are hosted each year. Although the workshop agenda's vary from year to year, the educational activities, lessons, hand-outs and free materials make these very worth while to attend. Click here to see our UPCOMING TEACHER WORKSHOP. Wayne SWCD has hosted other various educational EVENTS, such as a Forestry Field Day, Contractor Workshops, and recently started an Annual EQUINE OPEN-HOUSE. In addition, the Wayne SWCD has a partnership with Holmes SWCD in joining the Source Water Environmental Education Team , called SWEET. We share a ground water simulation model, and provide educational information for special events. If you are interested in learning more about ground water, please check our LINKS page, and visit our watershed site.
