Living on the Land – Class Series Teaches Land Stewardship
Clark County, WA – Over the past 21 years, over 500 Clark County residents have graduated from the Living on the Land class series. The program brings in local experts to teach key stewardship principles to small acreage land caretakers. These experts give advice on pasture and livestock management, managing weeds, caring for your forest, improving wildlife habitat, soil health, stormwater management, well & septic maintenance, and more.
The first step to good land management is understanding the whole system. This class series begins with advice on how to take appropriate inventories and create maps that help with goal planning. The class then dives into pasture and teaches about rotational grazing. Soil speakers share advice on soil testing and improving your soil health and fertility. The watershed class teaches about dealing with stormwater and protecting nearby water bodies. Terry Koper, Small Acreage Program Coordinator, states, “The variety of information these classes cover can help small acreage land caretakers dealing with a variety of land management issues. Not only do we teach stewardship practices, but also how to effectively manage your problem areas such as muddy pastures and weeds.”
The program is hosted by WSU Clark County Extension – Small Acreage Program and supported by Clark County Public Works Clean Water. This class-series is on Tuesday evenings from October 1 through December 3, 2024, with an optional field trip on Saturday, September 28th. Classes will be in-person. Advance registration is required. The early bird discount is $35 per person or $50 per household if registered by September 17th, or after is $45/$60.
