-Wayne Roberts, Friends of Madison County Parks & Trails
Madison SWCD has been a true partner with FMCPT since the beginning of the Ohio to Erie Trail. They also supervised the creation and maintenance of the rain gardens. Hats off to this important community-minded organization!
– Marty Mace
My brother Chris and I wanted to maintain the farm where we grew up. We found the Farmland Preservation Application process to be simple and we were informed at every step. If you want to maintain farmland, this program is for you.
- Michele Bouquet, Master Gardener
The staff provided expert collaboration with the Madison County Master Gardener Volunteers on the new Community Mural Park in London. They delivered valuable services above our expectations on this project.
-Christine Szymanski, ODNR Scenic Rivers
Madison SWCD is an irreplaceable partner of ODNR. Their expertise reduces invasive species, ensures biodiversity in the Little Darby Prairie Preserve and protects the water quality of the Little Darby Creek, State and National Scenic River.
– Jerry and Pat Downing
We signed up for the Conservation Reserve Program on our small 200 acre farm. The program has made a difference for the soil. We have pheasants, rabbits and deer. It’s a little bit of work and management, but overall, it’s profitable.
