District Secretary Learns A Lot By JOAN ISTAS
Pauline Willford has become Franklin County Conservation District secretary eight years ago after a life on a farm and in town. She recalls the district’s growth from soil and water focus to include environmental work, zoning and services for small landowners and city residents. She handles 25 to 20 tasks daily and faces a busy year end preparing the annual meeting, while also managing an Ottawa apartment house and family duties.
