Dave and Maureen Fasbender receive
Outstanding Conservationist Award
Dakota County, MN – The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is proud to announce Dave and Maureen Fasbender as their 2022 Outstanding Conservationist.
The Dakota SWCD Board selected the Fasbender’s as this year’s Outstanding Conservationist for their long track record of working with the SWCD and other organizations to improve water quality and soil health. The award recognizes their ongoing commitment to conservation.
The Fasbender’s manage the family farm where Maureen grew up, land that has been in the family for more than a century. Over the years they have installed numerous water and sediment control basins, grassed waterways, and diversions. Much of their land is at the headwater of the Trout Brook and they recently completed a grade stabilization project to reduce the amount of sediment reaching this trout stream.
Every year, the SWCD honors a landowner, business, or organization for their contributions to conserve or restore natural resources in Dakota County. The SWCD commends Dave and Maureen Fasbender for being leaders in conservation and supporting clean water practices.
