Living on the land

Posted

 

Registration for WSU Clark County Extension’s Small Acreage Program’s 12-week class series, Living On the Land — Stewardship for Small Acreages, is now open.

Sponsored by WSU Clark County Extension and Public Works Clean Water Program, this course prepares participants with the knowledge necessary to develop a sustainable property management plan.

Living On the Land participants learn about important topics pertaining to soil, water, plant and animal management that guide sound stewardship decisions for small acreages.

Topics are presented by local and regional experts and include pasture management, controlling weeds, wildlife, soil health, well and septic maintenance and more. Graduates learn practices that enhance natural resources and helpful strategies for improving their property by taking a whole farm approach.

“The real value of Living On the Land is hearing from regional specialists and making connections with local landowners,” said Amber Lefstead, program coordinator. 

“Living On the Land teaches management practices that help landowners save time and money, improve property value, and protect natural resources,” added Doug Stienbarger, director of WSU Clark County Extension.
