Waterwise Workshop

Join the Small Acreage Program of WSU Clark County Extension for a workshop at the 78th St. Heritage Farm , presented by farmer, Michelle Week, of Good Rain Farm. Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop on waterwise practices and water quality management for rural living. Learn how to use water efficiently, improve water retention, enhance soil health through sustainable farming, gardening, and livestock management techniques. We’ll explore dry farming methods, climate-adapted crops, erosion control, and cover cropping to optimize water use while building resilient ecosystems. Discover effective strategies for managing biohazards from waste, preventing contamination, and safeguarding your water sources. Leave with a personalized action plan to conserve water, improve soil quality, and ensure a more sustainable future for your land.

This workshop will be a great chance for folks to create a plan for dealing with water uncertainties and extreme weather. Come learn from a farmer that uses several strategies, such as: improving soil water holding capacity, dry farming, cover cropping, climate-adapted crops and animals, water-efficient irrigation, as well as practicing traditional ecological water stewardship. 

 This workshop is hosted by Small Acreage Program of WSU Clark County Extension, and is made possible through the support of Clark County Public Works Clean Water.
