Please join us on February 8th
to learn all about the importance
of healthy soils!
At our upcoming Feb. 8th meeting we'll take a look at SOIL another extremely important component in the vitality of watersheds. Our guest presenter will be
Kris Ribble, NRCS Supervisory District Conservationist. Kris will draw on his experience as a farmer and soil expert to lead a discussion about how
to improve the health of our soil.
Soil functions as a vital living ecosystem that sustains life on Earth.
Some agricultural processes degrade soil health and damage our waters and atmosphere. Restoring and managing soil health is vital for protecting our food and water supplies and providing security for future generations.
To gain the most from the discussion, we recommend first viewing the 2020 documentary "Kiss the Ground," which is available to stream from Netflix or to rent from Vimeo. The film, which documents how activists, farmers and politicians have used regenerative agriculture to save the planet's topsoil, runs one hour,
25 minutes. You can search "Kiss the Ground" on Google for information about how you can view the film.
The discussion of the documentary is scheduled for 7 PM on Monday, February 8th via Zoom. To register, please visit FCWA's website or Facebook page for the Zoom link. Limited in-person seating is also available in the large conference room in the Ag Services building at 702 Sawmill Road, Bloomsburg. Please call the conservation district at 570-317-9456 to register to attend in person. COVID-19 precautions will be followed.
