Text Box: The Chippewa SWCD participates in the State of Minnesota’s Cost-share Program. The SWCD Technicians work with local landowners to identify and solve their resource problems by offering landowners 75% cost-share funding to establish sound conservation practices that eliminate, or greatly reduce, an erosion or water quality problem.
