You're Invited - Strategic Planning Meeting

Thursday, November 21 from 6 pm - 8:30 pm 

Butler SWCD Office - 1802 Princeton Road, Hamilton 45011

As your local conservation District, we strive to ensure our programs meet the needs of the local community. Every five to ten years the District re-evaluates its programs and priorities in order to make sure we are meeting those needs of Butler County and its residents. The best way to make sure we obtain that goal is by hearing from all of you. Is there a natural resource concern you think we should look into? Do you feel that some of our programs are outdated or no longer relevant? 

​

All landowners, homeowners, business leaders, community partners, and organizations are welcome to attend. If you have ideas or suggestions, or you have an interest in agriculture, urban/development, education, water quality, or natural resources please attend this meeting. During the meeting we will be having small group discussions.

​

Cost: Free! We are also providing a complementary dinner to those that attend from 6 - 6:30 pm.

​

Register: You must register by November 13, 2019 for the District to finalize the event and get a correct meal count. Please note, the District will also be sending out on-line registration forms to those that are on our e-mailing list. Please call our office at 513-887-3720.
