Wabaunsee County Conservation District asks for $42,000 appropriation, plans expanded public programming
Summary
District Manager Lisa Markley asked the commission to allocate $42,000 for 2027—unchanged from the prior year—and said the district aims to expand programming for youth, operators and landowners while NRCS and FSA maintain office hours locally.
Wabaunsee County Conservation District representatives, including District Manager Lisa Markley and District Conservationist Bethanee Yarnell, updated the commission on activities and goals for the coming year. Markley said the district's 2027 appropriation request is $42,000, the same amount sought the prior year.
The group described goals to increase public accessibility through a variety of programming aimed at youth, operators and landowners. Markley also noted that the NRCS office remains open daily while the FSA office is open on Wednesdays; commissioners heard those availability details as part of operational context for the district's request.
