GET THE DIRT ON SOIL HEALTH WORKSHOP

 
The Grey Wooded Forage Association is proud to partner with the Counties of Wetaskiwin, Clearwater, and Mountain View on the presentation of a series of soil workshops in west central Alberta!

We have run the "Get the Dirt on Soil Health and Carbon” workshops earlier in the year with resounding success and participant response.

 

Previous participants had come away with a much greater understanding of the soil cycles that affect their own land and how to have a positive impact to change in their soil.
 
 
Dr. Kris Nichols  delivers a presentation in a format where all levels of soil managers will understand and learn. In my opinion, if time restricted you from attending many extension activities, then one of these would get my high recommendation. It could be the most important one you attend all year!

 

Attached is a poster for your review.  To attend you may access the Eventbrite link or contact us directly to register for the appropriate workshop of your choice.

Celebrating Our Success
 
A Landcare member had an idea to bring people together to hear short stories about environmental stewardship and to provide plenty of social time to talk informally. The idea became a celebration in the fall of 2011 and was delivered under the name "Celebrating our Success". Look at the video clip to see some of the celebration.
