The theme for the 2018 contest was “Minnesota Soils” Much thanks to the North Branch 6th grade and Rush City 5th and 6th grade classes who participated. To the left are the winning 2018 posters.

Adopt a Storm Drain
We’re excited that Chisago County is now officially part of the Adopt-a-Drain program!
If you live in an area with storm drains, we need your help to keep your local rivers and lakes clean and healthy!
Adopting a storm drain means taking a few minutes every month to clear your storm drain of debris, including litter, leaves, grass clippings and dirt. It’s a great family-friendly activity and bonus – you even get to name your storm drain!
