Evenings Afield: Boosting Biodiversity on Farms

Register here!

The different kinds of flora and fauna you find in one area is referred to as “biodiversity”. The more diverse a system is, the more resilient it is to disturbance, like climate change. In the quest to maximize production, modern agriculture has torn out hedges and plowed right up to streams, radically simplifying the landscape. Learn how we can improve the health of our farm landscapes by increasing biodiversity with edge of field conservation practices, agroforestry, and many other ideas.

Leaders: Patrick Michaels & Dick Cates

Evenings Afield is a program of the Lowery Creek Watershed Initiative. One evening per month, we set aside time for learning in the field from experts and each other, socializing with like-minded landowners and residents, and seeing results of management methods on different properties.
