<br />City of Centerville <br /> <br />Back to Web Site <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />Festival of lakes <br /> <br />The City of Centerville is situated between two (2) lakes, near Wargo Nature <br />Center and near the NRG Composting Site. We are a community that is <br />innovative and respectful to the environment, whether we live near the <br />lakes or in the heart of the downtown area. <br /> <br />Dreaming of Summer? <br /> <br />Go ahead! Get your planting grant application in now so you're ready to plant in <br />May. The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is offering cost-share grants for <br />raingardens, native landscaping and shoreline buffers. All planting grant <br />applicants will also be eligible for an additional rebate after the planting has been <br />established! <br /> <br />Native landscaping is a great way to positively impact the environment because <br />long-rooted native plants save water, protect lakes and rivers from run-off <br />pollution and provide habitat for native critters while creating a beautifully <br />landscaped yard. <br /> <br />How do I start? Visit www.ricecreek.org and click on "One-Stop Shopping to <br />Restore Your Yard & Shore" to familiarize yourself with the project steps. Then <br />schedule your visit with the RCWD staff to review the project <br />(ddubats@ricecreek.org or 763-398-3070). <br /> <br />Rice Creek Watershed District 2006 Calendars <br /> <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District has 2006 Calendars available featuring great <br />nature shots taken within the Rice Creek Watershed District.
