​Upcoming Events
Summer 2026 3rd Quarter Newsletter
With a summer of multiple heavy rain events, we saw flooding throughout the county on multiple occasions. We had many calls to our office with questions and concerns, and we figured if we had that many people reach out, there were probably many more who were not reaching out, but still had questions and concerns. There is a lot of good information in this edition of "Beaver Tales" to help answer some of the common questions related to flooding during rain events and home ownership. Check it out here to read the full newsletter!

Farmers Needed for National Soil Health Initiative
Pennsylvania Farmers: Help Advance Soil Health Research Nationwide!
Are you a farmer interested in helping improve our understanding of soil health? The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD), and conservation districts are recruiting Pennsylvania producers to participate in SHAPE (Soil Health Assessment Protocol and Evaluation).
SHAPE is a new, farmer-friendly initiative designed to benchmark soil health across the country and connect soil conditions with agricultural management practices.
What does participation involve?
An approximately one-hour virtual interview about your farm operation and management practices.
Soil samples collected by a SHAPE contractor and submitted to a laboratory for analysis.
An opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of soil health across Pennsylvania and the nation.
We need farmers representing all types of operations and soil health conditions—from advanced soil health systems to fields with opportunities for improvement. Every farm has something to contribute!

BCCD Trail Map
The Beaver County Vector Program mitigates the risk of mosquito-borne viruses by reducing larval and adult mosquito populations. Eliminating mosquito breeding habitat is the first step. The program encourages the public to reduce mosquito breeding by removing mosquito habitat, this includes removing any areas that hold stagnant water for prolonged periods of time. Mosquitoes require water to complete their life cycle, so by removing any standing water, it eliminates mosquito breeding potential.
West Nile Virus Information
West Nile Virus has been detected in mosquito surveillance within Beaver County this summer. Beaver County hasn't had any reported human cases so far this year, but there has been a reported human case in Pennsylvania. To read more about how to protect yourself from WNV, click here.
