Our Watershed Technician Americorps member, Abbie Frazer, was unfortunately impacted by federal cuts to the Americorps program. Luckily, we were able to bring Abbie on temporarily to continue her amazing work on water quality monitoring projects. We’re so excited to have you back, Abbie!

We also welcomed two college interns from UC Clermont this summer. Ione Sally and Ben Bowerman will be joining us to help with behavior change campaigns, agriculture projects, and GIS mapping.

A very big thank you is due to our two amazing West Clermont High School interns, Ryan Magnussen and Suzy Lemon, for all their work with us this spring! During their term, they helped with environmental education programs, invasive removal, tree planting, social media, and much more. We are happy with the work they have done and are excited to continue this program with WCHS going forward.

Finally, we are sad to lose our Urban Specialist, Jacob Lynch. Jacob has worked for the district for almost two years inspecting erosion and sediment runoff control practices at construction sites. Needless to say, he has been very busy, and we will miss him very much. Jacob will start work closer to home with the Butler County Engineers Office in June. Thank you Jacob, and we wish you the best!
