Managing Biodiversity on the Farm: Soil, Habitat, and Agroforestry in Practice

This interactive workshop, held on an active organic apple orchard at Flagg Hill Farm, will introduce producers to practical strategies for improving biodiversity within working farm systems, with a focus on integrating conservation and production goals. 

Participants will engage with a newly developed best practices tool and field guide to assess and enhance habitat and protect natural resources. 

Breaking the Lawn: Sowing Resilience in the Subdivision

Conventional subdivisions present a unique set of challenges for ecological landscaping— compacted (often clay) soils, neighborly optics, and monocultures of lawn and Home Depot shrubbery. 

Join Brett Towle, ecological designer and owner of Dicot Landscape Studio, for a field-based exploration of how to assess and implement ecology-forward plantings in everyday neighborhoods, with real budgets and real constraints. It's not about eliminating your lawn, but finding the right amount of it. 

Building Biodiversity: Habitat, Soil, and Pasture Regeneration

This interactive workshop at Choiniere Family Farm will introduce practical strategies for improving biodiversity on working farms using a newly developed field guide for organic producers.
