i <br />Watershed district managers <br />from throughout Minnesota <br />learned a little more about <br />water-related problems, issues <br />and solutions in the Red River <br />Valley and surrounding area <br />during the 1995 Minnesota <br />Association of Watershed <br />Districts (MAWD) annual <br />tour, June 23 and 24. About <br />115 people attended the tour, <br />which was hosted by the Wild <br />Rice and Sand Hill watershed <br />districts. <br />Tour participants departed <br />from the Shooting Star Lodge <br />in Mahnomen on Friday, June <br />23, and stopped at the Wild <br />Rice Watershed District's <br />Sande Detention project, a <br />unique flood and erosion <br />prevention and wildlife habitat <br />project. They also stopped at <br />Agassiz Environmental Learn- <br />ing Center in Fertile, where <br />Director Wayne Goeken <br />explained the recently estab- <br />lishedSand Hill River Watch <br />Program, which enlists the help <br />of area schools to monitor <br />water quality in the Sand Hill <br />River. <br />On the evening of Saturday, <br />June 24, the Shooting Star <br />Lodge hosted the annual <br />MAWD banquet. Host Chairs <br />Warren Seykora of the Wild <br />Rice Watershed District and <br />Roger Hanson of the Sand Hill <br />Watershed District, as well as <br />MAWD President Vern <br />Johnson, welcomed the group. <br />Guest speakers at the banquet <br />included Senate Majority <br />Leader Roger Moe of Erskine <br />and Don Ogaard, executive <br />director of the Red River <br />Watershed Management <br />Board. <br />Participants again boarded <br />buses on Saturday morning for <br />awide-ranging tour covering <br />sites in both the Sand Hill <br />Watershed District and the <br />Wild Rice Watershed District. <br />Sand Hill sites included a <br />drive-by view of the proposed <br />Winger Dam flood control <br />project area, the Beaz Park <br />Detention area, and. the Army <br />Corps of Engineers 1954 Sand <br />Hill River channelization <br />project. <br />In the Wild Rice Watershed <br />District, Saturday's tour <br />included examples of the 360 <br />Tour con't on p. 6 <br />5 <br />MAWD tour participants boarded trailers to see the Wild Rice Watershed District's Sande Detention project, a unique <br />multipurpose flood control and wildlife project. <br />
