This year, we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Farmscape Ecology Program. From its beginnings as a part-time, volunteer effort by Conrad and Claudia (often with their small son Otter in tow), working out of their home or from a temporary desk space in the “old farm store,” the program has evolved into a well-established part of Hawthorne Valley Association and is now composed of a team of six year-round staff and operates from its own building, the Creekhouse. Trying to be a positive force in this world by giving back to society and the environment has always been the motivation for the work of the Farmscape Ecology Program. We continue to do that by learning which other-than-human species share the landscape and farms with us, trying to understand their needs and contributions, and then sharing what we learn with land managers and the wider public in an attempt to make us all better stewards of the land and all its life.
