Climate Change Adaption and Preparedness Workshop

Planning for Climate Change on Your Land
How can your land be better prepared for increasingly unpredictable weather, changing pest pressures, and extreme climate events?
Join us for a hands-on field day where we'll walk through Farmers Rising's Climate Adaptation Plan and guide you through developing a climate resilience strategy for your own farm or property. Participants will explore practical, farm-scale approaches to reducing risk, improving resilience, and preparing for future challenges.
Topics will include:
-Developing a climate adaptation plan: process, goals, and implementation
-Assessing climate risks and opportunities on your farm
-Tree plantings and agroforestry practices
-Water use tracking, conservation, and drought preparedness
-Shade structures for livestock, workers, and crops
-Invasive species management, including weeds and pests
-Disease monitoring and prevention strategies
-Preparing for extreme heat, drought, flooding, and severe weather
-Building resilience through infrastructure, management, and long-term planning
-After touring Farmers Rising's adaptation projects, participants will have time to begin developing their own farm climate action plan with guided support and discussion.
Lunch will be provided.
