Tammy Rusch updated the board on the Children’s Water Festival set for April 25 at Island Grove.
The West Greeley Conservation District has shown interest in combining some education efforts with CCWCD. The Board directed Tammy to continue researching areas that we can work together.
The Poudre Learning Center has submitted a proposal to expand the Well Watch Program to the 6-school district within our boundaries. The Board was comfortable in supporting the startup cost and will re-look at the program in the fall of 2018. Startup cost at this point $8000.00.
