Living on the Land – Class Series Teaches Land Stewardship\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Clark County, WA \u2013 Over the past 22 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

The first step to good land management is understanding the whole system. This class series begins with taking inventories and creating maps that help with goal planning. \u00a0The class then dives into soil health and fertility. The class covers pasture health and rotational grazing, and many other topics. The watershed class teaches about dealing with stormwater and protecting nearby water bodies. Terry Koper, Small Acreage Program Coordinator, states, \u201cThe variety of information these classes cover can help small acreage land caretakers dealing with a variety of land management issues.\u00a0 Not only do we teach stewardship practices, but also how to effectively manage your problem areas such as muddy pastures and weeds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program is hosted by WSU Clark County Extension \u2013 Small Acreage Program and supported by Clark County Public Works Clean Water. This class series is on Tuesday evenings from October 7 through December 16, 2025, with optional field trips on Monday September 22nd<\/sup> noon to 1pm to showcase a forested residence<\/a> and Thursday, September 25th<\/sup> to highlight pasture and riverbank management<\/a>.\u00a0 Classes will be in-person. Advance registration is required.\u00a0 The cost for the entire series is $45 per person or $60 per household. \u00a0To register and find more information on Living on the Land visit the WSU Extension\u2019s website at \u00a0http:\/\/go.wsu.edu\/smallacreage<\/a> or contact Terry at Terry.Koper@wsu.edu<\/a> and 564-397-5729.<\/p>\n
