Sheridan Community Land Trust Executive Director Brad Bauer made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program to discuss the development of the Drought Planner.
The Sheridan Community Drought Planner is only one tool for the use of anyone concerned about water issues in the region.

According to Bauer, SCLT Conservation Program Manager Megan Kent headed up an SCLT survey last spring, asking the public what the 501c3 could do to help the region’s residents. Bauer said the majority of producers reported high stress from drought and despite this, none surveyed had a written drought plan.
The Sheridan Community Drought Planner will fill that role for producers and those in the agriculture industry. As well fill the role of a one-stop-shop for drought information.
But as people use the tool, it may evolve. SCLT takes public input seriously, and if the drought planner has any holes, the team is willing to listen to input.

Credit for the development of the planner goes to a team of people, Bauer said. The SCLT executive director thanked Carter Dubberley, an intern working with SCLT through the Sheridan College Foundation’s Homer A. and Mildred S. Scott Foundation Intern program as well as Zach Koltiska, Matt McMeans, John Buyok, McCade Brown and Alan Dubberley for their help creating the drought planner.
