On September 4th, IWF's Clean Water and Agriculture Coordinator, Marc Eads, had the privilege of hearing Ray Archuleta speak at a field day on the Ed Ruge Family Farm. For those who have never heard of Ray, he is the OG of soil health and all things biological in the soil profile. Thank you to the folks at the Lake, LaPorte, and Porter County SWCD's for bringing this all together and making it possible to hear Ray's practical and realistic approaches in agricultural and environmental science! #AgroScience, #lakecounty, #laportecounty, #portercounty, #Archuleta, #rugefamily

What a wonderful day getting to help captive reared Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) move into their new home in the Blue River. This is a massive effort championed by wonderful leaders throughout the state. The dedication of individuals like this gives hope to these amazing amphibians. #wildlife #teamwork #cleanwater
