Fifty-five Minnesota Area 3 Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors and field staff participated in a tour of mid-Isanti County, September 20. 

Part of the tour was on property where wetland and upland habitat was restored through Service involvement.   The program was intended to foster ideas on restoration and conservation practices conservation district staff could use at their stations.  It was a great promotion of the Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Wildlife Program.
