Stroud Water Research Center
Volunteers will help measure trees and record data from an experiment this spring. This study is part of a federal grant that resulted from the devastation that followed Hurricane Sandy. Hurricanes and other extreme water events teach us that we need our headwaters and small first order streams to absorb water to reduce the force and rate of water discharge during storms.
Help the Stroud Center restore our local streams by planting trees. Healthy forests are essential to the life-support systems of our streams. Trees filter contaminants before they reach the water, stabilize the stream bank, and provide food, shade, and habitat for fish and wildlife!

Healthy Soils: Building a Strong Foundation, featuring Gail Fuller. Mr. Fuller farms 1,700–1,800 acres plus 300 acres of custom work in Emporia, Kansas. On those acres he no-tills up to 13 crops including corn, grain sorghum, triticale, winter barley, soybeans, and winter wheat. He has used 60–70 different mixes of cover crops, utilizing sunflowers, radishes, turnips, and clovers most often. He was the recipient of the 2013 American Soybean Association® Conservation Legacy Award.
Conservation organizations, watershed groups, hunting and fishing groups, and other sportsmen groups are coming together for a day of collaboration with the common goal of healthy lands, habitats, and waters.
