New York Learning Circles - Soil Health & Your Land
November 9, 2017
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Mount Morris, NY
More than one million women now own or manage farmland across America with many of these women inheriting their land from their spouse or parents. Research shows that women landowners can benefit from learning about conservation practices from other women landowners and conservation professionals. To reach the growing number of women landowners interested in conservation, American Farmland Trust, along with Cornell University Cooperative Extension, Northwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team & Ohio's Wood Soil & Water Conservation District, have joined together to offer a number of different opportunities to share information and learn more about preserving their land long into the future.
We hope that you can join us for 1 or more of our Learning Circles! Invite a friend or family member to join you!!!
