Rural Living Field Day

The 2014 Rural Living Field Day is a fun and educational event for rural landowners. The event features speakers addressing a wide variety of issues that face rural homeowners, farmers, and land managers every day. Topics include wildlife, forests, pollinators, invasive weeds, orchards, riparian restoration, crops and soil health, and manure composting.

The event site provides an opportunity to visit a stream riparian area, a woodland stand, an orchard, a working organic farm and barn. Folks will participate in some hands-on demonstrations and will be able to ask the experts about specific concerns during the break-out sessions. Whether you’re a seasoned landowner or just starting your own farm, this is the event for you!

This event is sponsored by West Multnomah, Tualatin and Columbia Soil & Water Conservation Districts and the Oregon Small Woodland Association. Additional partners include the Scappoose Bay Watershed Council and the Oregon Forest Resource Institute.
