Meet Our Newest Interns!

Here at Richland Soil & Water Conservation District (Richland SWCD), we often have interns helping us out in various areas. This summer we are pleased to announce that we have three! We are very thankful to the Richland County Foundation Fran and Warren Rupp Fund for the grant to fund these positions! It is appreciated!
