Have you been wanting to get more involved with our Chapter and wondering where to start?

In 2023, we are holding monthly Board meetings on the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 PM. For a link or more information, please use the ‘contact us’ feature on our webpage, here is the link: https://californianevadaswcsorg.wordpress.com/contact/.

We’re looking for assistance with our Newsletter, our social media and webpage. We’re looking for members to contribute to the conversation and provide input on our annual meeting along with other activities.

Community, please take a moment to check out Part III of our No-Till Mini Series and be part of the conversation over on our Facebook Page (link on pdf)!

Hello Chapter Members, please find the recording from our latest webinar “Leveraging Partnerships & Digital Tools for Expanding Adoption of Soil and Water Conservation Practices in California and Beyond,” posted to our Chapter YouTube Channel HERE

A big ‘thank you’ to CA Resource Conservation District, The Desert Farming Initiative, and Terran Collective in association with Hylo for coming on as our guest speakers! We look forward to watching as your projects progress and believe in the great work you’re doing to bring farming networks together to assist in not only the sustainability of operations, but our natural resources as well.

Please follow along on our journey of highlighting this impactful collection of research that recognizes the landmark research and literature that has contributed to the scientific body of knowledge in No-Till.

Our first installment features a staff report written by Mike Lessiter and published in No-Till Farmer in February 2022. It highlights the work done by the North American No-Till Farmer Research List Project, chaired by Randall Reeder. This Article lists all 15 research projects and works of literature curated by the project and provides a brief description of each.

Register through Eventbrite, link is on the flyer.
