Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District and Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District are pleased to announce an education collaboration between the districts. The purpose is to deliver educational programs to Geauga County schools and youth focusing on the 3R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Katie Nainiger, Geauga SWCD conservation education coordinator for the past 17 years, will be adding Geauga-Trumbull SWMD programs to the diversity of educational offerings already available through Geauga SWCD to Geauga County residents.

Both agencies are focused and passionate about preserving our natural resources for future generations. Geauga SWCD’s mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance the soil and water resources of Geauga County by providing leadership, education and assistance, whereas the Geauga-Trumbull SWMD is responsible for waste reduction, recycling, and reducing reliance on landfills. Funding for the Geauga-Trumbull SWMD is received through a contract fee with landfills and transfer stations that agree to accept solid waste from the counties of Geauga and Trumbull. These fees are then used to provide programs and services to residents.

The partnership kicked off with eight programs at Bainbridge Christian preschool where 3, 4 and 5 years olds discovered the amazing world of how nature recycles with a story about “Pumpkin Jack” as well as getting their very own “Pumpkin Jack” to take home with them to see first-hand just how nature does it. This is just one of the many programs offered through Geauga-Trumbull SWMD.

If you would like to schedule a program, contact Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District, 440-834-1122, or visit startrecycling.com for more information.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
