Guest Speaker: Stephanie Egner CCA Project technician for the Land and Water Conservation Division/Planning and Parks Division



Stephanie Enger Fields Questions from Pathways Students

Ms. Enger Showed Various Soil Samples















Stephanie Egner , a soil conservationist, came to Pathways on September 11, 2014 to explain to the students how she helps other farms with her love of agriculture. She does so by teaching farmers safer farming techniques. For example, she shows the farmers how to protect the tilled soil with grass to prevent it from washing into streams, ponds, or lakes and polluting our groundwater. She even demonstrated this by bringing some dead grass and covering some soil and pouring water on it. Without the dead grass the water was dirty but with it it was very clean. She helps keep our water clean and we should congratulate her on that.
