Cost-share sign-up scheduled

Bourbon County Conservation District administers a state cost-share program designed to conserve soil and protect water resources.

The district will conduct a sign-up for cost share funds beginning Wednesday, Feb. 8, and continuing through March 31. These funds will be available for use after July 1, 2012, a news release said.

Bourbon County landowners with natural resource concerns on their property are encouraged to visit the office during the sign-up to discuss solutions and possible state financial assistance, the release said.
