Focus on Gardening (FOG) is a new seasonal interactive newsletter from the Southwest Conservation District Educational Outreach Group. We have a dual purpose. First, by responding online, to your questions, we can give you timely and environmentally sound information about plants and planting, growing things and enjoying them, even possible sources and suppliers oriented toward conservation. We will tell you about plants, insects, diseases and other problems that affect many of us now or might appear in your landscape fairly soon.
Our other goal is to tell you about Southwest Conservation District and what we can do for you. On a greater scale, the District provides technical assistance for natural resource conservation, land use planning and management, including erosion control. We partner with many other agencies and organizations.
However, the largest part of our Focus on Gardening service will be to respond to as many of your questions as possible. While we cannot publish every question in these e-letters, we will answer those with general interest. For those with specific questions about your property and gardens (this includes critters you see around), we will make every effort to respond to you directly and quickly. You ask, we answer.
You can submit questions to the email address below and the FOG team will review and respond with probable solutions. Register by listing your email/town only (Note that all published questions will not list your email address - only your town). swcd43ms@sbcglobal.net
HATS! USA made by Competition Headwear. 15$ per hat. If you would like one, you can call us at 203-269-7509, or visit our office at 900 Northrop rd Suite A, Wallingford CT

Sound Outlook is an electronic newsletter published three times each year by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Water Protection & Land Reuse. It addresses the water quality, coastal resources and coastal uses of Long Island Sound.
If you would like to receive this newsletter by email, you can subscribe to the Sound Outlook listserv. Each time the newsletter is published, you will receive it as an adobe PDF attachment. CTDEP is no longer printing and mailing the newsletter in an effort to save state and federal funds. Electronic distribution also saves natural resources by reducing the manufacture and use of paper, ink and other materials associated with the production process.
