67^th Annual Report (2009)

Highlights from our 2010 Spring Tree Sale:

Once again our Spring Tree Sale has come to a close. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all the following:

• Mutch's Hidden Pines for the use of their facility to hold our sale.
• Our awesome volunteers who logged in approx. 290 hours for this sale alone.
• Our generous supporters who gave donations.
• Our patient, loyal, returning customers and many new customers.
• Everyone who responded to our survey. You'll see some of those requests in next spring's sale.
• Last but not least, thanks to our understanding customers who generously gave up their Red Oak to the rabbits this year.

Thank you. We greatly appreciate your business and support of our conservation efforts here in Lapeer County!

The Lapeer Conservation District was organized in 1942 by a referendum vote of the landowners of Lapeer County. Even though it is considered an entity of state government, your local conservation district is locally led. A board of five directors is elected by a vote of residents at the annual meeting in January.

The current directors are:

For over 65 years, the conservation district has worked with local landowners, farmers, governmental agencies, and other organizations dealing with environmental problems. We have programs to assist people with forestry, water quality, and wildlife management concerns. We also have educational programs that are presented to all fifth grade students in the county.

The district board meets at the USDA Service Center, 1739 N. Saginaw Street, Lapeer. Meetings are held on the 3^rd Wednesday of each month at  9:00 a.m. The public is encouraged to attend. Please check Events Listing to verify the time and date.
