The equipment is <br />available for rent and is used to install ACD coordinated conservation <br />practices. Available equipment includes: <br />• Truax 3' native seed drop seeder, <br />• 25-gallon herbicide tank and boom sprayer, <br />• 52" pull behind brush mower, and <br />• Backpack herbicide sprayers. <br />Safety equipment and training is included with rental. <br />Miscellaneous Conservation Materials — Many materials needed for <br />conservation projects are not readily available, or are only available in bulk <br />quantities. This can discourage landowners from moving forward with a <br />project. To facilitate project installation ACD has several items on hand and <br />provides them at cost, including herbicide, erosion control fabric, <br />biodegradable stakes, duckbill anchors, galvanized steel cable, and <br />horseshoe clamps. <br />INFORMATION & OUTREACH <br />s .N Outreach and Engagement Coordinator — Partners <br />„R throughout Anoka County agreed to allocate approximately <br />15% of WBIF to jointly employ a Public Outreach and <br />Engagement Coordinator for two years.
