When we plant native oaks, willows, and goldenrods, we’re captivated by the birds and pollinators we see—but equally magical is the transformation of the hidden soil food web beneath our feet. In this talk, we’ll explore that underground life and share simple practices we can use to grow living soil, helping to revitalize biodiversity right here in the Chippewa Valley.Presented By:
