Flinner sworn in as new Holmes SWCD supervisor
Errick Flinner is the new supervisor for the Holmes Soil & Water Conservation District.
Errick Flinner of Big Prairie was recently sworn into office as Holmes SWCD supervisor. He was elected to the board at the district’s annual meeting in November.
Other board members are Tim Brumme, Bobby Hershberger, Harold Neuenschwander and Jason Schuch.
Conservation district supervisors are publicly elected officials, although they serve on a voluntary basis. They set the priorities of the district, oversee the staff and ensure fiscal responsibility. As subdivisions of state government, soil and water conservation districts have legal authority to assist landowners with a wide range of soil, water, woodland and wildlife conservation objectives. Another important goal is to provide information and education programs about natural resource conservation topics to county residents.
