SUMMARY:Fishers & Farmers Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Where farmers and watershed leaders gather to learn\, share\, and define next steps forward–together. \n\n\n\nThe Nature Conservancy is partnering with the Fishers and Farmers Partnership to host their annual workshop December 1-3 in La Crosse\, Wisconsin. The goal of the workshop is to bring together landowners\, farmers\, and conservation professionals to share stories and lessons learned about how we can remove barriers and leverage opportunities to enable more in-field\, edge-of-field\, and crop and livestock diversity on the landscape. The workshop has been held annually for 7 years\, rotating between the five states in the Upper Mississippi River Watershed (Minnesota\, Iowa\, Wisconsin\, Illinois\, Missouri)\, and attracts between 50-65 participants each year. The Fishers and Farmers Partnership also offers an annual competitive grant program to implement partnerships and conservation practices on the landscape; the workshop is an excellent opportunity to network with grant recipients and administrators.
