Soil & Water District announces e-waste drive, tree sale, and farm grant applications
Summary
Wayne County Soil & Water Conservation District announced an e-waste collection March 26–27, a tree sale (orders through March 12), activity on the Port Bay REDI project awaiting U.S. Army Corps comments, and six Department of Agriculture grant applications filed on behalf of nine farms.
Ron Thorn, manager of the Soil & Water Conservation District, briefed the Public Works Committee on several upcoming and ongoing programs.
Thorn said an e-waste collection event is scheduled for March 26 and March 27, and the district's annual tree sale remains open with March 12 as the final day to place orders. He reported the Port Bay REDI project is awaiting comments from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Thorn also told the committee the district submitted six grant applications through the Department of Agriculture and Markets on behalf of nine farms and has begun work on applications tied to weed harvesting and invasive species management.
Committee members heard the update as part of regular district reporting; no committee action was recorded. The announcements provide dates and application status that local farmers and residents can use to access services or follow project timelines.
