MDA Healthy Soils - Freetown Farm Field Day

Join a discussion and tour at Freetown Farm where we will be reviewing our progress on three projects funded by the Maryland Department of Agriculture's Healthy Soils grant. We will be discussing how farms can be used as tools for stormwater management and showing where we have been successful, what challenges popped up and how we plan to address them.

We hope to use this time to share what we have learned but also to hear from participants their own challenges and methods for addressing them.

Lunch will be provided

Topics:

• Low tech / Low cost stormwater management in growing spaces
• Transitioning areas with grass / invasive plants to more ecologically beneficial landscapes

*This event will be geared towards those who are working in land stewardship / agriculture but any are welcome to join in!

Space is limited. If you register and are unable to attend, please cancel your registration to open the space.
