stream hydrology trailer education
The Morgan Conservation can teach you about stream resources and stewardship practices with a system of four trailer-mounted stream hydrology models and a curriculum. This can be beneficial since Morgan County has a floodplain.
​
Audiences can observe normal and abnormal stream processes as they experiment with riparian vegetation, straightening channels, and natural and human impacts on watersheds. “What-if” scenarios provide quick and dramatic illustrations of the long-term effects of various practices.
The Conservation Staff and Stream Hydrology Trailer are available for public education events throughout Morgan County.
​
Scholarship Program
The Morgan Conservation District recognizes the need in the community to contribute to the education of our younger generations. Throughout the year funds are raised through donations and assistance. Each year the district awards a $1000 scholarship to one of the youth members of the community. The scholarship is set aside for individuals entering schooling or training relating to agricultural fields. Interested candidates are responsible for submitting an application including transcripts and references. The applicants are reviewed and selected based on their grades, participation in the community, and future plans.
