The Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District’s Annual Tree and Shrub Program is accepting orders through March 18th, 2012. Proceeds from this sale go to support the conservation programs at the Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District. The District now offers more than 30 species of bare-root conifers, hardwood trees, shrubs and groundcovers, as well as seed mixes and other products used in conservation projects. Packages range in unit size and price, from a bundle of 10 plants for as low as $11, to bundles of 100 plants for an average cost of $84. Some of the new selections for this year are: Nannyberry, Black Walnut and Am. Cranberry. We offer several ways to meet your planting needs: with individual packs of 10 for tree and shrub species, as well as multi-packs that include two each of five different species; perfect for the suburban conservationist! All plants are bare-root stock making them much easier to transport and plant. This is a pre-order program and the DEADLINE date for ordering is MARCH 18th, 2012.

Burnwell/Superior Plus Energy The following thank you article was published in the Local section of the September 25, 2011 issue of the D&C (www.democratandchronicle.com) from Burnwell/Superior Plus Energy:
Many people in Wheatland are due credit for the recent Burnwell Gas storage facility disaster response. Among them are; Linda Dobson, for her leadership in putting the emergency response initiatives in place, the Scottsville and Mumford Fire Departments and the Scottsville EMS. Other fire companies from neighboring communities (too numerous to mention) also responded and our gratitude is extended to them as well. Due to all of the responding department's exceptional training, organization and leadership skills, they aided in averting a bigger tragedy, due to their timely and well trained efforts.
Sanitary Sewer Upgrade/Replacement The Village of Scottsville is currently reviewing sewage treatment and disposal alternatives to replace or upgrade the aging Village Waste Water Treatment Plant. Alternatives are being reviewed based on project cost, future operation and maintenance costs, Village commitment to operation and maintenance, future Village project expenditures, sewage treatment capacity, and environmental benefit. For additional information and details a link has been provided to view the public information presentation which was held on June 21, 2010.
