While the Front Range was blessed with much needed snow in March, the state s snowpack has not climbed back up to average on the Western Slope and drought conditions are likely to persist.

In another win for Florida preservation projects, the state recorded its first conservation easement of a special grassland and Stetson University helped give it the final push.
Under the National Resources Conservation Service, the 581-acre property, located in Western Columbia County and within the Santa Fe and Suwannee River watersheds, is now considered a Grassland of Special Environmental Significance.
The finalization of the project was announced last Wednesday by Stetson University, in partnership with the Alachua Conservation Trust and the North Florida Land Trust.
With sandy soil that recharges rainwater seeping through the sand and into the aquifer, the property has been kept and maintained by its owners for more than 50 years for quail hunting. Because of the careful preservation and prescribed, controlled fires, more than 243 native plant species have been recorded.
Mark Kimmel, longtime leader of York County Conservation District, retiring
York Dispatch
In 1985 when Mark Kimmel joined the York County Conservation District, he was one of only three full-time employees in the department, and there wasn t much public awareness about ecology and the protection of natural resources.
A lot has changed in 36 years.
Kimmel, who is retiring from his post as manager of the county s conservation district, will leave behind a staff that s grown to 23 people, all working in an increasingly complex field. When I started working to do farm plan mapping, you had to wait two weeks to order in the plan map from Colorado through the Soil Conservation Service back then, he said. Now, we have GIS and the plan maps are at the tip of our fingers, but it probably takes us longer with all the additional paperwork requirements we’ve added to it over the years.
