This will be an evening presentation and talk on different solutions around resource leverage, as a way to keep growing the local land access initiative, while moving in a forward direction.

Working with Water on the Land

Water Management Workshop

SATURDAY October 26th

10am-3pm

Wellspring Forest Farm

$25-50, sliding scale 

Register here.

With climate change, the Finger Lakes region is projected to have an increase in overall rainfall as well as in the intensity of each rain event. As land caretakers our role then is to understand and harness the power of water in ways that support crop production, wildlife habitat, and carbon sequestration.

Join us to explore and learn methods for reading the landscape to solve water challenges by valuing water as a precious element of land stewardship.
