Coon Creek Community Watershed Council holds their first Conservation Day in Coon Valley – May 8, 2023

The Coon Creek Community Watershed Council held its first ever Conservation Day at the Coon Valley Veterans Memorial Park last weekend.  The event was designed to get the word out about the work the council has been doing, but also to draw people in and make them aware of why conservation work in the local watersheds affects everyone.
