District Board Meetings- Fourth Monday of the Month
Montgomery County SWCD Board of Directors meeting is open to the public. The meetings are once a month, on the 4th Monday, at the Soil and Water at 7:30 pm.

Two of Montgomery County's finest employees were recognized and awarded in March for their dedication to their jobs and their County community. Corey Nellis, District Manager, received the William F. Croney award for Lifetime Service (31 years). Julicia Godbout was also recognized primarily for her dedication to teaching and involving the younger generation about agriculture and it's importance.

Chuctanunda Trail, with work being done by many organizations including Soil and Water, is beginning to take shape. Soil and Water was able to provide some funding and technical advice and guidance, primarily headed by Joseph Slezak. Plans to continue work on the trail should pick back up in the Summer of 2018!

This years 2018 Capital Region Envirothon 2nd place team, and Montgomery County Representative for the NYS Envirothon is Fonda-Fultonville Central School Team.

Volunteers from the community and National Grid came out to Amsterdam Earth Day weekend 2018 to help clean up a section of the Chuctanunda Trail that was rehabbed in the Fall of 2017. It's cleaning up very nicely out there!
