A new state-wide coalition of agencies and female landowners has announced a series of free workshops in the coming months. The group is called Wisconsin Women in Conservation, and they are holding the online sessions on March 3 and April 7 from 12 to 1:30 p.m.
The live Zoom events are geared toward female farmers and landowners in Marathon, Portage, Shawano and surrounding counties who are interested in learning more about land stewardship or in sharing their own expertise, but they are open to all interested women.
The WiWiC is a broad state-wide coalition of organizations dedicated to sustainable agriculture and conservation education, with funding from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. Michael Fields Agricultural Institute as the lead is partnering with the Wisconsin Farmers Union, Renewing the Countryside, E Resources Group, and the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES). Other participating agencies are Pheasants Forever and county land conservation departments.
Registration is open by going to: www.wiwic.org.
