New SWCD Newsletter to be Published
For the past 8 years, it has been a great honor to be in
partnership with the Green Team in producing Mahoning Matters. Throughout the years there have been
additional partners involved: Mahoning County Commissioners, OSU Extension and
Mahoning County Health Department. But as
the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end.”
Mahoning Soil & Water Conservation District has
decided to continue with our own publication.
We give the Green Team accolades for practicing what they preach “Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle” and going mostly “Paperless” thereby reducing their carbon
footprint on the Earth. Mahoning SWCD is
asking our readers how they would like to receive our new solo publication.

Posters will be placed around Mahoning County in local libraries, schools, parks, township halls, businesses, auto part stores, and many more. The posters have four main themes to include: Car Washing, Fertilizers, Pet Waste, and Motor Oil. The main purpose of these posters is to get residents to think about conservation on a more personal level. To get one of these wonderful posters for your business please contact us.
