The public — and especially those looking to conserve their land — are invited to attend a landowner resource fair on Nov. 3.
Landowner resource fair slated
- Published: October 22, 2018
The public is invited to attend a landowner resource fair on Saturday, Nov. 3, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., at the John Bryan Center. A number of private and public organizations with conservation, land management, legal and financial skills and resources will be on hand in the gym, with speakers and resource specialists addressing ways to make land more productive and green throughout the day.
The fair may especially be of interest to owners of farmland within certain areas of Bath, Miami and Xenia Townships who are eligible to participate in Tecumseh Land Trust’s Jacoby Partnership, a regional conservation partnership program. The program will provide $1.44 million over the next five years through the National Resource Conservation Service to purchase agricultural easements or install conservation practices.
An RSVP to the fair is appreciated but not required; email sunflower@tecumsehlandtrust.org or call 767-9490 to indicate interest. To find out whether a farm is eligible for the Jacoby Partnership, visit http://www.tecumsehlandtrust.org or call the above number, or click here to view a map at the Tecumseh Land Trust website.
