The Baxter County Conservation District is running the Bull Shoals White River 319 Water Quality Program.

The primary objective of this program is to maintain or restore designated areas of the Bull Shoals Lake – White River Watershed water quality. The project will help landowners reduce slit runoff from their property by implementing Best Management Practices (BMP) regarding livestock.

Conservation planning and cost sharing of applied BMP’s will result in the establishment of useable vegetative cover on the pastureland. These practices include cross fencing, livestock waterlines and watering facilities, heavy-use areas for feed and water stations, spraying for unwanted pasture weeds and planting.

If you believe you may fall within the watershed program, stop by the Baxter County Conservation District office for other available programs, or contact the district at (870) 425-3527.
