Emmet Conservation District
Welcome to the Emmet Conservation District website, your gateway to natural resources management and source for environmental information and assistance.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Invasive Knotweed Project: Unfortunately, the super amazing herbicide contractor that the ECD had been using for the last several years is unavailable this year to do herbicide treatments, so unfortunately, the ECD is not able to contract herbicide services. We apologize that we cannot offer this service this year, but are working to make arrangements for everyone through either our local C.A.K.E. CISMA or other contractors. In the meantime, our office is working with local, county, and state agencies to raise awareness of the many issues related to knotweed, including preventing the spread of this plant. We encourage everyone to continue to report new infestations to us and/or your local CISMA.
Upcoming Events:
Fall Tree Sale Pick up - Fri. Oct. 4 (Orders Due Fri. Sept. 27)
Moonlight Madness 5K Fun Run - Sat. Sept. 21
Fall Mushroom Workshop - ****UPDATE 10/1- Due to weather we have to reschedule the mushroom workshop that was scheduled for 10/1. We will try for better weather next week (10/8 from 4-6pm, same location)! Hope you can make it. Please note new date/time change for this workshop
Annual Meeting & Board Elections, Regular Business Meeting to follow - Tue. Oct. 15
