Conservation Quips with Chelsea

On April Fools' Day we shared a new video series called Conservation Quips, hosted by Chelsea Gebbia, former SCD conservation planner. It's not a joke but laughter is inevitable.

With this series, we aim to bring you conservation news and events from across Sussex County, one quip at a time.

Check out the first three videos following the winter soil health events:

• Jeremiah Durbin, independent crop consultant
• Jen Nelson, Delaware Soil Health Partnership
• Richard Winters, Kent County, MD farmer
• Liz Haney... COMING SOON.

So, we hope you'll join us on this adventure, and we look forward to covering a wide array of topics; however, if you have an idea for a video or want to learn about a specific topic, let us know!

Cover Crop Participants

Cover crop destruction forms have been mailed. Cover crop program participants must self-certify in writing that cover crops are destroyed between March 15 and June 1, 2023.

Failure to self-certify by June 1, 2023, will result in non-payment.

Stewardship Week

What is Stewardship Week?

NACD Stewardship Week is one of the largest national programs to promote natural resource conservation. Celebrated annually since 1955 between the last Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May, NACD Stewardship Week reminds us of our individual responsibilities to care for natural resources.

Stewardship Week will be held April 30 – May 7, 2023, with the theme “One Water.”
