We have been talking about it for the last 9 months, and CONSERVATION WEEKEND is finally here!

We are inviting you to Hainlen Orchard for our NRCS High Tunnel Hoop House build and Conservation Weekend. Our staff will be building our 96ft x 30ft Nifty Hoops High Tunnel on Friday and Saturday November 13th & 14th at our Hainlen Orchard location in Converse, IN.
We are inviting all interested individuals to come watch or even help build. Please share the attached flyer with anyone who might be interested in building their own high tunnel, wants to see how the high tunnels are constructed, or has a general interest in conservation practices & orcharding.
We will be hosting this as an open house over the course of two days, so anyone is welcome to join us for as long as your time allows. We have a few set times on the flyer to help you plan your visit. We will be hosting a Conservation Q&A each day at 4pm. There will be a specific Hoop Building Demo on Friday at 11am and a Hoop Raising Demo at 10am on Saturday. We will also have a demonstration beehive and owl house on display.
Our orchard farm market is still open with fresh pressed c***r, 15 varieties of apples, c***r slushies, hard c***r, and tons of other Indiana Grown and produced products!

On Wednesday this week, we hosted our first ever Pop Up Nature Party at the SWCD office at 500 High Street and boy oh, but did we have FUN! You can never underestimate the value of hands-on learning and learning through play, we think. Aspecial thanks goes to our fantastic partners: Jes Hatt with ISDA and Casey Venable with Resilient Indiana: Technical Assistance for SWCDs worked SWCD Intern Maddie to bring in benthic insects from the Eel River behind the office. Claire King with Purdue Extension Cass County introduced families to 4-H and ran a bug puzzle station.
