We will walk around a “homestead” farm site - exploring areas and goals the landowner hopes to improve in the future, including pollinators habitat, perennial plantings, wind breaks, privacy/noise screens, water quality improvements, well sealing, and compost placements. Participants will hear feedback and recommendations from a conservation professional on potential programs that could assist the landowner in achieving those goals. This will be an active event.
Please bring a camp chair and a potluck dish. The host will provide the main dish, so think about bringing sides and dessert. For questions, contact Alex Kiminski at
