This morning at the CD office, we were busy bagging up the pollinator seed that we recently got as part of an Area 6 effort.

This seed is being provided free of charge to landowners in Lewis & Clark County. Please give us a…
As part of the Area 6 Conservation Districts (mostly south west Montana), the Lewis & Clark Conservation District is participating in a Pollinator Effort.

They are perfect for a backyard pollinator garden that doesn't have to compete with noxious weeds. The non-native seed mix includes 6 pollinator species,…
