A free public informational event and field walk showcasing forest
stewardship and conservation practices eligible for technical and financial
assistance through NRCS will be held on Saturday, July 11, from 9:00 am
to 12:00 noon, at the Griswold/GTD Conservation Area on Lampblack Road in
Greenfield.
Local farmers and anyone interested in learning about
grazing livestock are invited to attend a series of educational events this
summer and fall hosted by Mass Grass, a state-wide grazing group of
Massachusetts livestock farmers, leaders and educators from agricultural
organizations, including the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, the
Northeast Organic Farming Association/Massachusetts Chapter, UMass Extension and
the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Outreach is part of NRCS' daily business. We work to ensure that programs
and services are made accessible to all customers, while placing special emphasis on those
who may be underserved. Historically, underserved audiences have included minorities,
tribes, women, the disabled, new farmers, limited resource farmers and
small-scale farmers. Underserved audiences can also include other groups of
customers, such as new immigrant or refugee farmers or organic producers. We'd
like to reach you too.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides leadership
in a partnership effort to help people conserve, maintain, and improve our natural
resources and environment.
