ACD has developed informative videos on a variety of topics, all of which can be accessed on ACD's website and YouTube Channel. The videos cover topics such as signs and causes of erosion, river-friendly lawn care, and various best management practices. The "Our Connection" video series is both informative and easy to follow, and has become a valuable educational tool for teaching students about the environment.

ACD wrapped up another successful tree sale! 26,800 trees were purchased as bare root seedlings in bundles of ten or twenty-five. The district offered a variety of species including black cherry, mixed oak, maple, lilac, pine trees and a variety of native prairie seed mixes were available. We had perfect weather on pick-up day and staff loved getting the chance to meet and engage with the 354 tree sale customers. If you purchased trees from us this year we want to send out a big thanks you! If you missed the tree sale this year you can start planning for 2025!
