Drop your Common Milkweed Seed Pods off at the Richland SWCD office\, 1495 W. Longview Avenue\, Suite 205B\, Mansfield in the green and yellow bin located outside the office door. \n\n\n\nHere are a few guidelines for this year’s collection: \n\n\n\nWe are collecting only Common Milkweed Seed pods because of the instability of other species.  If you are unsure of the species\, do not put them in the bin. Do not drop off pods that are damp or wet because it can cause mold and damage all the pods collected. \n\n\n\nThe amount of Common Milkweed Seed pods collected will be capped at 30 gallons due to the time required to remove the seeds from the pods. If the 30 gallon amount is reached\, the bin will be removed and we will no longer be able to accept anymore pods.  \n\n\n\nInside the bin\, will be a large paper bag.  Do not keep your pods in the bag you used to bring them to the drop off location. Instead\, please add all common milkweed seed pods collectively in the large paper bag.   Please do not rubber band pods together.  They can damage the equipment used to remove the seeds from the pods and we will be held liable.  \n\n\n\nThank you for helping with this year’s milkweed seed pod collection and helping the monarch butterfly! \n\n\n\nMore information about the collection may be found here: Programs | Richland Soil & Water (richlandswcd.net) URL:https://richlandswcd.net/event/county-wide-common-milkweed-seed-pod-collection/ LOCATION:The Longview Center\, 1495 W Longview Avenue\, Mansfield\, Ohio\, 44906\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T100000 DTSTAMP:20260407T085636 CREATED:20250404T200112Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250404T200144Z UID:10000344-1761123600-1761127200@richlandswcd.net SUMMARY:Board Supervisor Meeting DESCRIPTION:Board Supervisor meetings are open to the public and held in the Richland SWCD Conference Room 258.

The presenters are Dr. Megan Rippey\, Virginia Tech and Dr. Stan Grant\, Virginia Tech. \n\n\n\nGet the big-picture view of freshwater salinization and why it’s emerging as a critical water-quality challenge across the country. We’ll break down the major drivers\, the ecological and infrastructure impacts\, and the trends scientists are tracking in rivers\, lakes\, and groundwater. Then we’ll zoom in on a real-world case study from the Occoquan Reservoir\, where researchers and managers are grappling with the complex mix of land use\, weather patterns\, and human behavior that fuels rising chloride levels. This case will illustrate both the challenges and the practical management strategies communities can use to protect their drinking water supplies.
