BRAINERD — The Crow Wing Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors will host the 2022 Crow Wing County Landowner Event from 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. March 4.

The event will be at the Crow Wing County Land Services building at 322 Laurel St. in Brainerd. Lunch will be provided by Sage on Laurel.

“Individual landowners are doing great things for clean water and habitat in this area,” District Manager Melissa Barrick stated in a news release.

Guest speakers at the event include Rep. Dale Lueck, who serves on the Agriculture Finance and Policy; Environment and Natural Resource Finance and Policy committees; and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources.

“We want to make sure these stories get told. Landowners and community organizations will explain how and why they got into conservation programs and the benefits,” Barrick stated.

Crow Wing County Commissioner Steve Barrows will also speak. He serves on the Mississippi Headwaters Board, Crow Wing County Extension Committee and other county committees.

By Dispatch staff report

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
