The VSN maintains a consciousness that in order to increase and protect the
health of our watershed we must work together with our neighbors. As such
we have proposed a project titled Agricultural Best Management Practices and
Watershed Quality Improvements. The project will educate citizens and
promote local Best Management Practices implementation, assist farmers in
obtaining cost-share assistance and document the change in the watershed
health through water quality monitoring in the Kickapoo watershed. You can
view this proposal at

This grant competition was made possible by a donation from MillerCoors to River Network. MillerCoors believes that with great beer, comes great responsibility, and has designated water conservation and quality as a key sustainable development priority. River Network’s strength comes from its more that 600 affiliated partner groups located in every state and larger network of 5,000 entities focused on water issues nationwide. The company shares River Network’s commitment to helping communities understand, protect and restore rivers and watersheds.
