On this episode, we’ll chat with Heath Keirstead. We’re flipping the mic, so our listeners can get to know their hosts on Conservation Spotlight. Heath is the Communications and Education Specialist with Marion Soil & Water Conservation District. She will discuss the journey she’s taken to arrive at Marion SWCD, what’s special about Conservation Districts, the various ways we connect with the community, and how our listeners can get involved.
