• **Kourtney Parks**, Lower Kansas River Watershed Coordinator, will discuss soil-health practices that may reduce flooding impacts and agricultural damage. She will also cover resources and funding opportunities for landowners and local governments, previous Kansas actions addressing flooding and water quality, and possible future legislative actions.
