Mayor Greenburg’s proposed budget calls for severe cuts to the Jefferson County Soil & Water Conservation District. These cuts put critical conservation work at risk. From watershed protection to promoting sustainable agriculture, strong communities invest in the land and water that sustains them. Send a comment to your Metro Council representative and tell them to fully fund the Soil & Water Conservation District.
