Join us for a field day at the residence of Andrew and Karen Kline to learn about the Walnut Creek Watershed Project. We will have a brief presentation on the progress of the project, followed by a tour of Jerome Kline's conservation practices. You may come at 1:00 pm or 2:00 pm, because we will have a brief presentation and tour from the hilltop at both times. We will be serving beverages and desserts after the tour, and at this time you may ask Jeremy Saugstad, Project Coordinator, questions or visit with other watershed landowners that are present. If you have any questions, contact Jeremy Saugstad, or Mindy Sieck, at 641-528-2065 ext. 114.
