🍁 Happy November from the Steuben County SWCD! 🍁

Our Steuben County Life program has wrapped up for the season!

Our final sessions included a tour and tasting at Foods Alive, where we learned about organic food production and the connection between healthy soils and the food we eat; a tour of the YMCA of Steuben County to learn about local programs, services, and community resources; and a visit from Lake James Lavender Company to learn about their farm, harvesting process, production, and future goals.

Thank you to everyone who shared their time and knowledge with our group!

🌳 Another fall highlight was our Forestry Field Day! Attendees learned about woodland management and got to see firsthand the practices and decisions that go into caring for our forests. Thank you to Brad Hamlin for hosting us at his property and for sharing his management experience with the group!

As we close out another season of programming, we’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make these events possible. Thank you for being part of our conservation community!

Another season of the highly anticipated Steuben County Life is underway and off to a great start!🌿

The Steuben County Life Program is a six-week evening program held each Tuesday from mid-September through October, giving Steuben County residents the opportunity to explore local places, organizations, and industries connected to conservation, agriculture, natural resources, and Steuben County’s history.

We kicked off on September 15 with the Clear Lake Township Land Conservancy Kasota Island Tour, followed by Circle Hill Cemetery Tour with local historian Kathy Aldrich, and most recently, Haven Hills Therapy Center.

Each session has been well attended, and we’re grateful to everyone who has participated this year! Thank you to our wonderful hosts for sharing their knowledge and welcoming our group. We look forward to the rest of this year’s sessions!
