Be sure to comment on the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. A lot of folks worked very hard to update the CWPP to ensure that we have the appropriate community goals and safety in the new plan.
There will be an opportunity to hear more about the new CWPP Plan on April 23 at the LMCD Annual Fuel Mitigation Meeting! Watch the Lower Musselshell Conservation District page for more information on that!!
Use the link and let us know what you think of the plan!!

Lower Musselshell Conservation District is proud to support the agricultural communities in Musselshell and Golden Valley Counties!

In support of the irrigation districts in the area, LMCD was able to get a grant for an Aquatic Vegetation Rake! This piece of equipment will make cleaning out the irrigation ditches easier, get more of the weeds and debris out of the canals, increase water capacity and efficiency!

Thanks so much to Leon Hammond with the Deadman's Basin Water Users Association for picking up this great piece of equipment in Chester, ID for us!!

Hope to see you all there!! Come out and support your local Emergency Services!!
