Board of Supervisors Fred Glander Felicia Olinger

Welcome New District Director We are excited to announce the addition of Ed Everman, District Director, to our Montgomery SWCD Staff. Ed is no stranger to conservation or Montgomery County. In 2012, Ed retired from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources after serving as the Area IV Program Specialist. He has worked in the Soil and Water Conservation field for 36 years, and was based in the Montgomery SWCD office from 1979 until his retirement. His return to service brings with it a wealth of knowledge and experience. We are excited to have a new leader who brings such familiarity and know-how to the job. Ed and his wife Shari live in southern Darke County on a small grain farm. He currently serves on the Arcanum-Butler School Board, as well as being a member of the Ft. Black Masonic Lodge in New Madison, Ohio, the Valley of Dayton Scottish Rite, the Antioch Shrine, the Darke County Shrine Club, the Darke County Farm Bureau and the Darke County Farmers Union. “I am looking forward to working with the Board, staff, elected officials and residents of Montgomery County,” Ed stated recently. We are looking forward to working with him too! Our partner agencies have a couple additions to announce too! Meet them on page 2. Welcome to all!

Welcome Resource Conservationist Hello Everyone! My name is Justin Wagner and I have been selected as the new Resource Conservationist with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) in Montgomery County. I will be assisting Jeff Barnes, the District Conservationist in Montgomery and Preble counties, and will share my time between both offices. I started my conservation career as summer help with NRCS in Shelby County in 2006. After college, I was hired as the District Technician in Van Wert County, and then as the Soil Conservation Technician on the Grand Lake St. Marys Project. During my time there, I earned a Bachelor’s in Agriculture. Shortly after finishing that, I was accepted for this position. I grew up in Botkins, Ohio, raising show pigs, and being actively involved in 4-H and FFA. Enjoying the outdoors along with raising livestock is what motivated me to pursue a career in Conservation. I currently still reside in Botkins with my wife, Megan and our three sons. I look forward to working with the landowners and producers of Montgomery County, and I encourage anyone who has questions to call me or send an email.

I grew up in Tecumseh, Michigan, a small town near the Ohio and Michigan State Line. I was always active in the outdoors and loved exploring the woods, rivers and fields. My passion for wildlife and conservation led me to earn a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife from Michigan State University in 2007. I have worked for various agencies in natural resource and wildlife management over the years. I enjoy volunteering and getting involved with communities, and being active and outdoors through biking, hiking and camping, kayaking and fishing. During the winter, I play ice hockey and enjoy snowboarding. I hope that I can be a great resource to anyone within the area who may need my assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any comments, questions, concerns or would just like to say hello. My work cell number is (937) 578-8264 and my email is [email protected].

Did you ever wonder why we have so many native options in our tree and plant sale? Or why many of our new offerings this year have berries? It’s for the birds (and butterflies, and other pollinators!) Native plants have many benefits. The trees and shrubs we’ve included help native wildlife in multiple ways. They are host plants (needed caterpillar food) for many species of butterflies and moths. They are important nectar sources for butterflies and hummingbirds. The fruit they produce may be tasty and nutritious for you, to birds and wildlife, or all of the above! Some provide great bird nesting habitat. If you love feeding the birds, then planting some (or all!) of these trees and shrubs in your yard would be a great next step to attracting and keeping many species healthy and happy in your yard!

Rain Barrels

Garden Cover Crops

A Rain Barrel collects and stores some of the rain water from your roof for you to use later. This system hooks into your existing downspout and overflows back into it, protecting your foundation. Use the water to water your garden or lawn, wash your car, or add water to your compost. The soft rain water is better for plants and won’t ‘spot’ your car. Storing the water helps keep our streams healthy and prevents flooding. Help the environment, your plants, and even your water bill!

Garden Cover Crops - 1/2 lb $5.00 ½ pound will cover 100 - 150 sq. ft. Cover crops are planted for the benefits they provide to soil health, plant vitality, and pollinators. These mixes contain untreated seeds and an inoculant that is OMRI approved for organic gardens. Manage by planting through or composting the residue.

Single Rain Barrel Kit $30.00 Includes all parts to make your barrel, step-by-step instructions, and a Tip Sheet for care of your barrel, DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BARREL!

Summer Mix: Cow Pea, Flax, Oats, Oilseed Radish, Pearl Millet, Sunflower, and Sunn Hemp. Plant when the ground temperature is 65°F. Also can be managed by tilling the residue under.

Single Rain Barrel Kit & Barrel $55.00 Includes the entire Kit, step-by-step instructions, Tip Sheet and a 55 Gallon Barrel (food grade, blue).
