Conservation Chat will cover maintenance of home dams

ASHLAND, Ohio — Thousands of dams are used across the state to establish not only lakes and reservoirs but also to create private ponds, too.

As a landowner, you may not spend much time thinking about the dam that makes your backyard fishing possible, but as a pond owner, you should plan to perform regular inspection and maintenance of your dam.

Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District is here to help with its Sept. 14 Conservation Chat: Dam It!, which will take place at 6 p.m. at Artesian Lake.

The talk will include speakers from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’s Dam Safety division as well as Keith Libben from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, who will share best management practices for pond construction and maintenance.

Attendance at the chat is free, but reservations are encouraged by calling 419-281-7645 or registering online at eventbrite.com/e/ conservation-chats-dam-it-tickets-670736790797.
