@FisherNews students spent an afternoon last fall in Second Creek at Alasa Farms. They collected data to assess the creek's health. The presence or absence of certain species tells the story of a creek’s health & water quality. We look forward to the final analysis!

Invasive species hunter Kyle Webster visited our properties to help us act before invasives become problematic. Invasive species are plants, insects, animals, or fungi introduced into a local ecosystem, are likely to spread easily, & cause harm to the environment & local economy.

New conserved land in Clarkson! Thank you to Pam & Kermit Mercer for protecting their forested wetlands. Land like this 87 acres is important to conserve for wildlife. It also reduces flooding downstream in extreme weather events.
