Jackson County residents have opportunity to participate in a field-based education program about natural resource management.
The Oregon State University Extension Service and the Jackson Soil and Water Conservation District are pleased to offer the 2011 Land Steward program. The Land Steward training will help local small-acreage landowners learn about ways to create a healthy environment on their property through weekly site visits, presentations from natural resource professionals, and the creation of a personalized action plan. The course is targeting land owners who want to learn how to balance sustainability with their rural lifestyles.
The course takes place on Tuesday afternoons, 1:00-5:30 p.m., It begins Sept. 6 and ends Nov. 8.
Applications for the Land Steward Program are available at the OSU Extension Service, 569 Hanley Rd., Central Point.
Applications are due Aug. 26.
