Call for women landowners - new dates!

UPDATE - Introductory meetings will take place:

Women landowners are invited to come to the meeting closest to their home; if they are unable to attend that meeting, they are welcome to come to another one, or contact facilitator Laura Krouse of Mt. Vernon about attending the subsequent field days and closing meeting.

Women landowners who participate in the "Women Caring for the Land" project will:

•    Meet your district conservationist and learn about programs and people available to help you with your conservation concerns

•    See sustainable soil conservation and water quality practices in the field

•    Hear from a good tenant about what kinds of conservation concerns he shares with you

•    Practice ways to discuss your conservation concerns with your tenant

•    Share ideas with other women landowners about solutions to conservation and sustainability

"Women Caring for the Land" is sponsored by Women, Food and Agriculture Network, and funded by a grant from the McKnight Foundation.
