This free workshop helps horse lovers reduce their "hoofprint" on the environment. Property improvements such as installing fencing along streams and wetlands, constructing new manure storages and building composting bins are among the topics covered. Also discussed is managing pastures to reduce mud, maximize grazing, and help endangered birds like bobolinks and meadowlarks.
At the workshop, landowners will learn how to use the Horse Owner’s Stewardship Guide to complete an environmental assessment of their farm. Staff from NVCA, Grand River Conservation Authority and Credit Valley Conservation will be on-hand to discuss financial grants and technical assistance that may be available for landowners wishing to undertake stewardship projects.
The workshop will be held at the Lord Dufferin Centre - Community Room. Please register online through Eventbrite , call 705-424-1479 or email sstephens@nvca.on.ca.
