Farm, Garden, & Landscape Restoration Without Herbicides
FREE Hands-On Workshop Series
Restoring Land Through Knowledge, Partnership, and Practice
Join us for a three-part, hands-on workshop series exploring practical, ecological approaches to farming and landscape restoration without herbicides. Through field demonstrations, restoration site tours, and collaborative learning, participants will gain tools and knowledge to support healthy, resilient landscapes.
This workshop will showcase some of the key restoration projects at the Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve: demonstrating six years of working toward restoring native First Foods, pollinator and grassland habitat. In this part 2 of 3, we’ll discuss strategies for holistic ecosystem restoration and climate resilience. We’ll tour through the beaver-based restoration areas of Latgawa Creek and proposed forest restoration site.
In partnership with Cultivate Oregon, Jackson County Soil and Water and supported by Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education.
