About Us Calendar Education Programs Services Priorities

Welcome to Tippecanoe SWCD online!

 

Our Mission:  The Tippecanoe County Soil and Water Conservation District is committed to provide quality technical, educational, and informational resources for the community through leadership, service, and citizen involvement to foster natural resource conservation and environmental stewardship.


    


    Have trouble identifying plants? Ever wondered if there was an easy to use guide that could help? If so,  

    this is the book for you.  Identify 65 of Indiana’s most common prairie species.  Plan your habitat or

    wildflower garden by bloom time so you can have showy flowers all year-round!  The publication sells  

    for $40 and was compiled by our own Rural Conservationist, Megan Benage.  If you have questions

    about the book or would like to purchase a copy, please drop us an email or stop by the office.

 

 

You might find yourself asking.....Why native?

Native plants do not need to be watered or weeded as much as some exotic horticultural plants. Native plants can add color and vibrancy to your landscape as well as providing micro-habitats for our native bees, birds, and butterflies! Going native means you have concern for our environment and are helping to preserve remnant species with 100 feet of garden or 10 acres of landscape. Thank you for helping us to get more conservation on the land!
