Monroe County Stormwater Utilities The Friend of Conservation Award is presented to a business, nonprofit, or governmental agency that has gone above and beyond in promoting strong conservation practices inside their organization and encouraging strong conservation ethics with its employees.

This partnership has increased the growth capacity for the SWCD, and together we are spreading the message on the importance of protecting soil health and water quality. It was an easy choice to name the Monroe County Stormwater Utilities and Board as a Friend of Conservation. |

State and National Earth Team Volunteer Award Winners 2017: Monroe County SWCD & Indiana University Serve IT
Part of the journey to create the mobile application Mark-it was the volunteer hours of the Serve IT team that created the final product. This group of young people went above and beyond their normal academic course load, personal activities, and social lives to volunteer their time to learn about working with “real-life” customers. It was because of these young people and the Serve IT team that Mark-it is now a reality and usable application. Congratulations to Monroe County SWCD and IU Serve IT.
Mark-it is now live! Check it out!
