Farmscape Ecology Field Day at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub

Join us and our colleagues from the Applied Farmscape Ecology Research Collaborative to learn about and discuss the different research projects that occur at the Farm Hub. This event is for farmers, conservation professionals, land managers, and others interested in on-farm ecology to learn about the different research projects that occur at the Farm Hub and discuss their applications. We will host interactive stations, share insights into our projects, and discuss their potential applications for farms and land in the region. Come with your questions and engage!
