So tell us about your work at the Watershed Foundation.
12:09
Yeah, so, um, I get the really cool opportunity to do the coordination for a few of our cost-share programs, which are, um- We, at The Watershed Foundation, what we do is we come alongside different kinds of landowners to help them, um, implement practices on their land that will improve water quality.
12:29
Um, so we have, um, two water con- water conservationists that work with our ag community, and, um, they are very experienced in agriculture.
12:39
So, like, they, they do a really good job of speaking the language and helping problem solve for cover crops, no-till, um, all that.
12:46
But the two programs that I get to work on are Healthy Shorelines and then this new program that we have called Beyond Lawns, which is, um, technical assistance, which basically just means someone can come out and give you advice based on your specific property.
13:00
And then we have some reimbursement for the cost of implementing that practice through grants.
13:05
All of our programs are kind of based around practices that are gonna help slow down, spread out, and soak in storm water as it's running across the watershed to filter out any, any pollutants.
