ACD Supervisors and staff recently met with members of the Anoka County legislative delegation as part of our annual outreach efforts to stay connected and share conservation updates. These meetings provide an opportunity to highlight how ACD partners with landowners, local government entities, and other organizations to deliver voluntary projects that improve water quality, restore habitat, and support resilient communities. From stormwater treatment in urban areas to shoreline stabilization and habitat work along the Rum River, as well as pollinator plantings and invasive species management, ACD's projects are designed to provide lasting local benefits.
Discussions this year focused on recent ACD projects, emerging natural resource challenges, and the importance of sustained funding to continue delivering cost-effective conservation results. ACD also shared their interactive dashboards that showcase projects and illustrate how this work is making a difference throughout Anoka County.
We appreciate the time and engagement of our local legislators and look forward to continuing to serve as a trusted, non-regulatory resource on natural resource issues.
