SUMMARY:Healthy Soil through Maximum Biodiversity workshop - Springfield
DESCRIPTION:Join Landscape Interactions and NOFA/Mass for an array of hands-on workshops this season\, as we partner with farmers and community gardeners across Western Massachusetts to implement a series of scalable\, replicable designs and land management practices that incorporate biodiverse\, native pollinator-supporting vegetation. \nFunded by a Healthy Soils Action Grant from the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA)\, Healthy Soil through Maximum Biodiversity aims to demonstrate that enhancing plant diversity and supporting at-risk pollinators leads to healthier soils\, increased soil organic carbon sequestration and improved ecosystem function. \nWhether your farm is urban or rural\, large or small-scale\, your production livestock or vegetable-based\, there are gleanings to take home from this project. Workshops offered in the 2025 season include soil analysis and on-site data collection\, site preparation\, native pollinator life cycle requirements\, native plant and seed installation as well as short and long-term maintenance. \n  \nEvents: \n\nSoil Analysis\, Carbon Sampling and Designing for Resilience – NOFA/Mass Food Access\, Tapley Court Apartments\nSaturday\, April 26\, 2025 | 10:00am – 1:00pm\nSoil Analysis\, Carbon Sampling and Designing for Resilience – Nuestras Raíces\, La Finca (The Farm)\nSaturday\, April 26\, 2025 | 2:30pm – 5:00pm\nSoil Analysis\, Carbon Sampling and Planting for Resilience – Indian Line Farm\nFriday May 9 2025 | 10:00am – 1:00pm\n\n\n\n	Related
