The Elwyn B. Robinson Department of Special Collections is pleased to announce

Nygard was a farmer near Minot who was extremely concerned with flood control
issues in the Souris River Valley. He was a founding member of Citizens United
to Save the Valleys, which fought plans of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to
build the Burlington Dam. Following a long struggle, the Corps finally
abandoned the plan in 1991. The inventory for the Lloyd Nygard Papers is online
