The Clarion Conservation District is holding two events in March to celebrate National Agriculture Week; a week to recognize and celebrate the contribution of agriculture in our economy and our everyday lives.
Both events will be held on Wednesday, March 22, at the DCNR Forestry Bureau, 158 S. 2nd Ave. in Clarion.
The first event is a free “Conservation Workshop” from noon to 3 p.m. directed towards farmers and landowners featuring presentations on the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, the Clean and Green Tax Assessment Program, the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership, riparian buffers and invasive species management, and information on the services the Clarion Conservation District can provide.
Agency partners, such as the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will be there early at 11 a.m. to answer questions. Attendees can stay late for the second event.
Local farmers will have tables set up representing their farm and the products they produce. Come check out the tables, ask questions, and thank a farmer.
Registration deadline for the Conservation Workshop is March 15.
Register a table for the National Agriculture Celebration by March 8. Farmers registering a table must attend the Conservation Workshop.
