Education <br />Website — ACD manages several websites including one about the ACD <br />(www.AnokaSWCD.org), one that serves as an <br />informational and marketing tool for the ACD <br />patented Rain Guardian pretreatment chamber <br />(www.RainGuardian.biz), one for the Lower Rum <br />River WMO (www.LRRWMO.orq), one for the <br />Upper Rum River WMO (www.URRWMO.orq), and <br />one for the Sunrise River WMO <br />(www.SRWMO.orq). <br />Homeowner's Guide — One of our largest efforts <br />was the booklet "Outdoors in Anoka County: a <br />Homeowners Guide." The guide was developed <br />specifically for landowners living adjacent to high <br />quality natural areas but contains information on <br />topics relevant to every Anoka County resident. <br />The guide includes insights into our high quality <br />natural areas and suggested `must see' public <br />open spaces. It has tips on landscaping for wildlife, <br />water quality, energy conservation, water <br />conservation, and healthy lawns. It includes <br />information on invasive species and plant diseases <br />common to our area as well as some discussion about wetlands management and <br />regulation. It touches on septic system care, household and yard waste management, <br />and well water concerns. Lastly, it includes a map of Anoka County's park system in <br />hopes of getting people outside, connected and appreciative of the natural resources <br />we share. 4,000 of these booklets are being distributed to homes adjacent to important <br />natural areas. <br />A Homeowner's Guide <br />Brochures — ACD staff develops brochures as a workload <br />management tool. When requests for the same type of <br />information become sufficiently frequent, it pays to invest staff <br />time in the development of a brochure to more effectively <br />convey the information. ACD staff developed a series of <br />brochures to empower landowners to implement conservation <br />on their properties including; <br />• Lakeshore Restoration: Enhancing water quality and <br />habitat on your shore, <br />• Riverbank Stabilization: Understanding water flow and <br />managing erosion, <br />• Habitat: Attracting wildlife to your property, <br />• Water -Smart: Conserving water at home, <br />• Rain Gardens: Treating runoff at the source, and <br />• Invasive Species Management: Restoring ecosystem <br />health. <br />Living near natural areas <br />and creating them onyour-property <br />Plus outdoor recreat4on information - - <br />LANDSCAPING <br />Qn Lakcshores <br />D,=;gnAsai=r n==.A„ai1a66 <br />To Int ad h O•==m <br />r t6= <br />Aao6 coner,®tion dotd t <br />ieei,C:wdA-e NL <br />5 Na <br />y..7l5 ,M2030 <br />Anoka Conservation District Comprehensive Plan October 2014 page 37 <br />
