CREP Landowner Networking And Pollinator Habitat Field Days April 17, 19
|
|
The Capital Resource Conservation & Development Council collaboration with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay is sponsoring two field days focused on networking with landowners, learning about beneficial pollinators, and noxious weed control in natural CREP (Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program) areas.
The field days will be offered on April 17 in New Oxford, Pa and April 19 near Greencastle, Pa.
Landowners participating in or considering enrolling their land in CREP are encouraged to attend. These field days are designed to provide landowners with the opportunity to view successful CREP grassland projects.
Sharon Weigle, County Executive Director for FSA (Farm Service Agency) in Adams & Franklin counties will provide a CREP program update and address questions about program re-enrollment.
Jim Gillis, USDA-NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service) District Conservationist in Adams County, and Lindsey Kammerer, USDA-NRCS Soil Conservationist in Franklin County will share details about the importance of pollinators and how to attract them to your property.
Both sessions will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions of land management experts and learn about noxious weed control techniques.
The first field day will take place in New Oxford April 17 from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and the second will be held near Greencastle on April 19 from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Both events are free but registration is requested by April 16. Both sessions will be held rain or shine. Directions to each site and agenda details will be provided in the registration confirmation.
