An Advisory Board representing local groups, including Putnam-Baldwin-Jones Cattlemen's Association, Farm Bureau, and the Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District, is functioning to provide guidance on the project. The Putnam County offices of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Extension Service are partnering with the RC&D Council to provide technical and educational assistance to operations within the watersheds.
