The purpose of the program
is to collect blight informa

started and running wild.
Our office will be receiv
ing an up-to-date report each
week. We’ll include some of
this information in our col
ums from time to time.
SOIL STEWARDSHIP WEEK

Join in the observance of
Soil Stewardship Week by tak
ing time to consider the boun
ties the soil provides, to re
solve that we will protect it
