As this is a non election year for LWVPRA, we are shining a light on the often-under-appreciated races found on the back of your ballot.! While the front typically has the high-profile contests, the reverse side includes crucial elections for judges, township officials, and your Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Supervisors.

To help us understand the importance of these local conservation leaders, this afternoon’s panel will provide valuable insights into the SWCD and its impact on the residents of Hubbard County.
Our panel will speak for about 15 minutes each and then we will have time for audience questions.

Our speakers:
Heidi Anderson-Thomas was elected in 2021 to represent District 3 on the Hubbard County SWCD Board.  She has served as the Board Chair since 2023."

Megan FitzGerald, is the Community Engagement and Grant Reporting Coordinator for Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)  Hubbard County.  She has a background in both social and environmental sciences.”

She grew up on a small Hereford cattle farm in Buffalo, MN, and works on topics such as gardening, soil health, crop and livestock production, woodland management, and shorelands.
