Clark Porter from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and a farmer in the Blackhawk Creek watershed, then brings the big discussion down to particulars, talking about his work in the Blackhawk Creek watershed. He also provides an overview of how watersheds, and why it's vital that we do better to protect our soil and water resources. Clark is accompanied by Faith Luce, a recent graduate from the University of Northern Iowa. and Watershed Coordinator for Blackhawk Creek. The video begins with an introduction by LWV UMRR's Mary Ellen Miller.
