To teach landowners, farmers, ranchers and the like about responsible ecological management of the land and why it matters, the High Desert and Mancos Conservation Districts are hosting a one-day workshop this Saturday, April 19.
For $10, people can register for the all-day workshop at Fozzie’s Farm in Lewis – it starts at 9 a.m. and goes till 4 p.m. – and lunch is provided.
“It’s an opportunity for landowners in Montezuma County to hear from a variety of sources and learn how and why sound ecological management is important,” said Adam Tess, a conservation technician at the High Desert Conservation District.
At the Land Steward Program Workshop, attendees will learn about soil health, water rights, irrigation water management, pasture and noxious weed management and site planning overviews, said Tess.
They’ll also have the opportunity to converse with local experts in these areas, and ask questions to – hopefully – gain knowledge for managing their land better, in terms of both efficiency and sustainability.
“It’s a great opportunity to connect with people who also care in this community about things that matter to all of us,” he said.
Those interested can register online at the High Desert Conservation District’s website.
