MACD and Little Beaver CD, with the support of the DNRC Conservation Districts Bureau, have funding for conservation districts and partners to host BSWC members focused on soils-related programs and projects as part of a ‘Soils Team’ pilot.

If you are interested in hosting a BSWC Soils Team member, you need to do 3 things:

1. Contact Kay Webb (406)778-2965 ASAP to let her know you are interested. Kay has time allocated to help CDs develop host site projects and ideas and facilitate co-hosting or sharing a BSWC Soils Team member.
2. Submit a BSWC Host-Site Application to Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) by September 2nd, 2022. If you need more time (a 1 or 2 week extension) to apply, let Kay know ASAP. You can find more information on the overall BSWC program and the host-site application here.
3. Apply for Soils Team funding by September 16th at 5pm. Printable Version: BSWC Soils Team Funding Application
4. (Bonus #4!) Attend a BSWC intro call or Soils Team Office hours (see info below).

1) Offsetting the $12,250 cost share payment for hosting a BSWC Soils Team member
2) Assisting your member with housing costs
