The Women, Food and Agriculture Network, with partners Prairie Rivers Network, American Farmland Trust, and Friends of the Big Bureau Creek Watershed, are sponsoring a conservation workshop for women land owners in Bureau, Lee and LaSalle Counties.
This event offers a peer-to-peer, informal discussion format which allows women landowners or managers to talk about their land stewardship and conservation goals. The afternoon will feature an optional tour of local conservation practices and water quality monitoring stations within subwatersheds of Big Bureau Creek.
Space is limited for this workshop, so RSVP by 5 p.m. August 23 to Teresa Bullock, American Farmland Trust, by email at tbullock@niu.edu or by phone at 815-753-6365.
More information can be found at the American Farmland Trust website.
