2018-2019

From the CEOI am pleased to present the 2018-2019 Annual Report of the Soil and Water Conservation Society and to share several of our achievements over the past year.

In the summer and fall of 2018 we spent some time out west with a successful 73rd International Annual Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the filming of two short films, “Soil Health in the West: The San Luis Valley” and “Conservation Professionals: Inspiring a Movement,” in honor of former SWCS leader, Mike Collins. Mike passed away in 2016, and a memorial fund was intended for a one-time scholarship in his memory through the Society. However, after learning about Mike’s passion for communicating conservation through film and speaking with his wife, we decided to do something a little different. Staff and I traveled to Alamosa, Colorado, where we spent two days with Mike’s family, friends, and the farmers and colleagues he impacted to create two films. We believe this project will educate viewers on soil and water conservation issues in the Southwest and help Mike’s legacy as a steward of the land live on. Please take a moment to watch these films.

Additionally this year, we cohosted the first North Central Region One Water Action Forum. The forum brought together a diverse set of stakeholders and topics around our world’s most precious resource: water. Unlike many conventional conferences, the forum created a space for informal networking and creative thought among the learning and dialogue. SWCS was also asked to facilitate a session for a partner organization’s leadership and several sessions to unite academics and practitioners in establishing statements of agreement for field guides around conservation practices.

These accomplishments confirmed the strength of the Society to facilitate high-quality educational events for conservation professionals and to create impactful communication pieces. This led us to roll out new conservation professional services that will allow us to better support and amplify the shared missions of our chapters and partners in the nonprofit, academic, and private sectors. Consider enlisting us to plan your next conservation event, facilitate a group of conservation professionals to generate solutions around challenges, or share your conservation story!

We continue to implement new ways to expand our reach through our members and chapters. I was excited to release new membership options and materials for groups this year, including office-wide memberships for conservation districts, extension groups, and nonprofit and private sector partners. We kicked off 2018 with a webinar and resources for chapters and contributed over $18,000 to our local chapters who offer education, technical training, professional networking events, and other opportunities to engage at the local level.

The work we have done to recruit and build the next generation of conservationists has been one of the most exciting aspects of the last year for me because it makes the Society sustainable and ensures a bright future for soil and water conservation. We launched a new career center and began publishing conservationist career profiles. We also started a robust intern program.

It is only under the leadership of Chair Rex Martin, the guidance of the Board of Directors, the dedication of our chapters, and the relentless work and passion of the staff that I find myself honored and humbled to write this letter and share the Society’s accomplishments over the last fiscal year.

Each and every social media account of the Society has grown over the last year, so connect with us to make sure you don’t miss a thing!

North Central Region One Water Action ForumInspired by the One Water movement, SWCS, North Central Region Water Network, Iowa Soybean Association, and US Water Alliance planned and hosted the North Central Region One Water Action Forum in Indianapolis, Indiana, on December 11 through 13, 2018.

The regional One Water Forum brought together a diverse set of stakeholders to deepen the One Water dialogue, localize lessons learned by delegates and attendees of the National 2018 One Water Summit, and take steps to put One Water to action in the Midwest. This unique conference acknowledged the expertise of the audience and facilitated dialogue among the diverse professionals in attendance. In addition, the forum created a space for informal networking and creativity through conservation trivia, a water bar, a photo booth, a nutrient reduction game, and the incorporation of artwork into the event.

The event kicked off by introducing attendees to the One Water concept through the lenses of conservation professionals working in the urban and rural realm, an artist, and a tribe. During the second day general session, leaders from nonprofit, for-profit, and government sectors shared specific existing and upcoming policy, programs, and project opportunities for attendees to integrate One Water approaches. Nine working sessions were held on a variety of water-related topics from watershed management and soil health to climate change to diversity and inclusion in water management, outreach, and education. At the conclusion of the forum, working session leaders shared highlights and actions during the general session.

Optimized Water Quality WetlandsSince 2015, SWCS has partnered with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Agribusiness Association of Iowa, Iowa State University, and various engineering firms and contractors to scale up water quality wetlands in Iowa. The goal of this project is to identify opportunities for funding, cost-saving, and speeding up the timeline from farmer interest to project completion.

The project has investigated various federal funding mechanisms for water quality wetlands, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and CP-39 Constructed Wetlands, part of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Farmable Wetlands Program. The project team also explored market-driven mechanisms for wetland funding, including community organizations, corporate/nonprofit sponsorship, drainage districts, and state revolving loan funds.

The Society is working with engineering firms to install wetlands and to adapt their designs for improved water quality benefits and decreased costs. The team has found that when comparing traditional Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) wetlands and tile-zone wetlands designed through this project, costs can be significantly reduced for the latter because a smaller land area is needed, leading to smaller easement costs. Additionally, there are less design and construction costs.

The project was extended to June of 2019, and lessons learned will be shared in the fall of 2019.

Conservation Media LibraryIn September of 2018 the Society unveiled its Conservation Media Library! The project, a joint collaboration with Conservation Districts of Iowa and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) since 2015, is a multimedia storing house for conservation photos, graphics, videos, drone footage, PowerPoints, and other resources. Made possible by a Conservation Innovation Grant from the NRCS, the library is focused on four conservation practices: cover crops, drainage water management, saturated buffers, and prairie strips. Included in the library are curated sets of photographs that lead the audience through the process of installing conservation practices, step by step. The photographs and videos feature farmers, landowners, contractors, scientists, and other conservation professionals sharing their perspectives and positive experiences with the practices. The library’s photos, videos, and supplemental materials already have nearly 89,000 online views!

All materials on the website, including photos, are available for public download and circulation. Please take advantage of the library’s resources.

Watershed AcademyIn 2016, collaborative efforts of SWCS, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and Resolve created a Watershed Academy program with the purpose of providing much-needed training and support to watershed coordinators. Watershed Academy topics are hands-on and collaborative. They have included conservation planning, managing nitrogen, running a successful field day, selling conservation, siting bioreactors and saturated buffers, leveraging financial resources, and using social media to access a desired audience. Since May of 2016 the Watershed Academy has been held twice, annually. In the spring of 2018, Clare Lindahl, SWCS CEO, presented on the diffusion of innovation theory, and SWCS Special Projects Director Catherine DeLong shared various outreach strategies for edge of field practices. In the fall of 2018, the Society hosted conservation trivia for all attendees.

The project’s funding, a Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Innovation Grant, ended in December of 2018. However, the project’s success has secured funding from other collaborators, and the Watershed Academy will continue indefinitely.

SWCS Goes to WashingtonIn April of 2018, SWCS CEO Clare Lindahl and Special Projects Director Catherine DeLong traveled to Washington, DC, to reintroduce the Society to key partners, tout our network of experts and practioners, strengthen historic partnerships, and make new connections.

During the whirlwind trip they met with USDA and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) leadership, including Under Secretary Bill Northey and Acting Chief (and SWCS member) Leonard Jordan. Clare and Catherine also met with US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) staff from the Office of Water and Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds to discuss the shared interests of trainings for conservation staff and source water protection.

Bruce Knight, SWCS Board member, hosted a well-attended meet and greet at his offices, where Clare was able to share her vision for SWCS. This event, along with a “Lunch and Learn” hosted by the SWCS National Capital Chapter, was an invaluable opportunity to introduce the Society’s new CEO and meet dozens of leaders from like-minded organizations. The National Capital Chapter also shared all the good work they’re doing, including informational and social events for their members.

Rex Martin, SWCS Board Chair, also made the trip to DC and attended meetings, including a valuable discussion with staff from the office of Senator Joni Ernst, who sits on the committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and committee on Environment and Public Works. Other notable discussions included meetings with the Walton Foundation and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation about shared goals.

Internship ProgramIn the summer of 2018, SWCS began an internship program for students working toward conservation degrees. Our interns have enhanced the annual conference experience and completed projects to benefit student and early career members. We are giving back to these interns as well! One intern stated in her exit letter, “I learned so much during my time because [my fellow SWCS employees] put in the time and energy to help me get better while also giving me the freedom to use my creativity in the projects. It was one of the best experiences of my college years.”

Megan Koppenhafer joined the SWCS staff at headquarters for the 2018 summer student internship. Megan’s work focused on developing a new leadership program for students interested in careers in conservation-related fields. Through her efforts, SWCS was

able to launch a new mentor opportunity for students attending the annual conference. The program matched select students with professionals working in their field of interest within conservation. In addition, SWCS included a few more unique pieces at the conference, such as a career panel session and a new Guide for Students and Early Career Professionals in Conservation booklet.

Whitney Bugni interned at SWCS during the 2019 spring semester. Whitney’s primary project included the review of historical documents and items in the Society’s possession and the creation of archival and loaning policies for these materials. Her efforts assisted SWCS staff in preliminary plans for celebrating the organization’s 75th anniversary in 2020 and guided future efforts to inventory and record the history of the Society and its membership.

Career ProfilesIn 2018, the Society launched a career profile program to showcase the successes of our members, encourage the next generation of conservationists, and demonstrate the variety of paths that contribute to preserving our natural resources. The members included come from a diverse set of professional backgrounds including academia, policy, nonprofit, industry, research, and extension.

Naveen Adusumilli: "…go talk to farmers. You sit in front of the computer and you look at model after model and they start to tell you exactly what you want them to tell you, but then you talk to the farmer and you learn why they do what they do."

Doug Smith: "My research program is very applied, so going to the SWCS meetings where there are so many practioners and people that work in the policy arena has been worthwhile. Quite a few of my publications are in the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, and the reason I tend to publish there is because it is a great way to speak directly to the NRCS and other action agencies."

Alyssa Charney: "Make sure you try it out. Washington, DC, and working in policy…can feel draining and exhausting and frustrating. Giving that a test run and seeing if it’s the right fit is really important because you have to enjoy the process. I like the process."

Do you know someone who would make a great career profile? Please send suggestions to catherine.delong@swcs.org.

Chapter ActionIn November of 2018, the Colorado Chapter hosted a “Soil Health in the West” conference in Alamosa, Colorado. Organizers brought together soil health experts and local farmers to share their wisdom and experiences around implementing soil health principles to regenerate lands in the difficult conditions of the West. After a morning of presentations, the 50 attendees had the opportunity to visit a potato, cover crop, and beef operation as well as a holistically managed cattle ranch.

The Pokomoke and Old Line Chapters in Delaware and Maryland partnered with the Delaware Conservation District Employees Association in the fall of 2018 to host a fall meeting featuring a tour of Delaware’s first and only cranberry farm, and presentations related to innovations in drainage management practices. This event educated audiences about water control and management as well as the impact of climate change in the region.

The Iowa Chapter and Iowa Soybean Association partnered with SWCS headquarters to host an Imagine a Day Without Water Trivia Night on October 10, 2018. Imagine a Day Without Water is a national day of action to raise awareness about the value of water. The event provided attendees an opportunity to network and learn fun facts about our water resources. Nine teams and over 40 individuals met at a local brewery to test their water knowledge.

SWCS has 60 chapters across the United States and Canada.

The state, regional, and student chapters undertake a diverse set

of grassroots activities to support conservation professionals and

others interested in protection of soil, water, and natural resources.

Here are just few examples of SWCS chapter activities in the past year.

Awards and Honors

Hugh Hammond Bennett Award The Hugh Hammond Bennett Award recognizes extraordinary national and international accomplishments in the conservation of soil, water, and related natural resources.

2018 Recipient: C. Wayne HoneycuttC. Wayne Honeycutt has been an extremely effective conservationist and scientist-leader who has advocated for soil and water protection and improvement at every level, from state to national to international. Currently Honeycutt is president and CEO for the Soil Health Institute, but his most widely known accomplishment was perhaps the creation of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Health Division. Earlier in his career, with the USDA Agriculture Research Service, Honeycutt led efforts to develop crop and soil management approaches that could improve water quality and improve the efficiency of nitrogen and manure management for cropping systems of the Northeast. At the international level, he initiated and led development of decision support tools that involved communication efforts with scientists from 28 countries, leading to presentations at meetings and an award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. A testament

to Honeycutt's ability to engage a wide cross-section of people is the development of the Soil Health Action Plan by the Institute that involved input from over 100 people from academia, agencies, agribusiness, conservation organizations, and perhaps most importantly, from farmers. He has further sought the successful engagement of over 150 volunteers to work with action teams on advancing soil health through improved soil health measurement, research, education, and policy change. For these and many more reasons, Wayne Honeycutt was honored with the 2018 Hugh Hammond Bennett Award.

Fellow AwardThe designation of Fellow is conferred on Society members who have performed exceptional service in advocating the conservation of soil, water, and related natural resources. This award is given first and foremost for professional excellence. Professional achievement may be in practicing, investigating, administering, or teaching soil and water conservation or closely related fields.
