Land Camp: Field & grassland management, part two

This summer, CLC is hosting a series of programs where participants can learn more about and try land management techniques in a supportive environment so that you can feel comfortable implementing them at home! This series of workshops is ideal for those who are already actively managing their land, those who would like get to started, and those interested in learning more about how CLC manages the properties we care for.

This program at Ooms will focus on putting field and grassland management skills learned during last week’s workshop into practice. Participants will learn how to take and analyze soil samples with Cameron Hastie-Etchison, Conservation Programs Associate of CLC. There will be opportunities for participants to learn how to implement these strategies on their own and ask questions.

What’s involved: This event will include walking over mowed grass and muddy terrain over sections of the Pond Loop and Meadowlark trails to the soil testing site and back, approximately 1.5 miles total. The event will include going off trail for .1-miles over uneven terrain.

Packing list: Water, weather appropriate clothing and footwear, and a way to take notes (notebook, smart phone).

What not to bring: Please no dogs.

The next Land Camp workshops will focus on forest management at Schor (June 27, July 13) and wet meadows at Overmountain (October 3, October 12). Click here to view all the events in this series.
