The Stream Health Initiative serves multiple purposes. Not only will the proposals in the initiative protect our water resources, but they will also address climate change and protect biodiversity. I hope that the Board will provide funding for the proposals, especially #6, #13 and #14 which are relatively low hanging fruit. Proposal #13, the New Landowner Education Project could move forward if the Natural Resource Program (NRP) was granted a budget. The NRP is critical to addressing a myriad of threats facing our natural world which will ultimately impact our human health and wellbeing if ignored. Please fund the modest budget requested by the Natural Resource Program. This little bit of money can go a long way in keeping our County an attractive and healthy place to live with clean water and an abundance of natural beauty. Let's not have to close our public swimming lakes to due harmful algae blooms every summer. It is time to take action!
