Time: 9-5
Location:
UVM campus
Description: This workshop is for the home gardener and large-scale veggie producer alike! Participants will receive training in how to use NRCS’s In-Field Soil Health Cropland Assessment using example scenarios, learn about soil health conservation practices including the use of biochar, and see a live demonstration of how cover crops increase infiltration and reduce run-off through an indoor rainfall simulator. NRCS funding opportunities for soil health practices will be discussed briefly. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of soil health and how to assess and improve the health of their soil. This workshop earns one RAP Agricultural Water Quality education credit.
