The Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) invites fairgoers to stop by their booth in the Farm Bureau building during the 2025 Madison County Fair.
Since 2015, the Madison County Farm Bureau has shared their space with Madison SWCD, which will be staffing a booth Wednesday through Saturday.
This year, visitors can learn about native plants and habitats, and the wildlife that rely on those resources. There will be free posters available, and kids (of all ages) can get a conservation-themed temporary tattoo. Cultivating Connections, a project of the Madison County Conservation Board, will also have free native plants to give away on July 18 and 19.
Madison SWCD also encourages the public to attend the Conservation Awards presentation on Wednesday, July 16 at 5:45 p.m. at the North Show Ring (before the Queen and King Contest).
In addition to presenting the 2025 Conservation Award, Madison SWCD will also be drawing the winner of the raffle for a pair of 3-Day General Admission Tickets to the Hinterland Music Festival in St. Charles on August 1-3. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $20 up until the drawing at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, August 16.
Madison SWCD’s booth at County Fair is a great place to learn more about the Conservation District and its programs and activities in Madison County; or visit www.madison-swcd.org for more information. Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
