A lot of things have been different this year, but one thing that has not been canceled is conservation.
Conservation is something that needs to happen every day no matter what is going on in the world and Wilbur Galbraith was selected as the 2020 Cooperator of the Year for the Guernsey County Soil and Water Conservation District.
Galbraith has been continually active in soil conservation and proactive in stopping soil erosion while preventing nitrogen and phosphorus runoff.
In the last six years, Galbraith has prevented an estimated 14,208 pounds of nitrogen and 2,592 pounds of phosphorus from finding its way into the Wills Creek Watershed. He has done so by participating and signing up for the Muskingum Watershed Conservation District’s Cover crop program.
