This interactive workshop will introduce practical strategies for improving biodiversity on working farms using a newly developed field guide for organic producers. With expertise from farmers and in partnership with Audubon VT, participants will be introduced to a best practices tool and accompanying field guide to assess and enhance habitat on their farms for birds and other wildlife. Presenters will share real-world experience, including approaches to supporting wildlife habitat and managing invasive non-native plants. The farm tour will focus on soil health and pasture regeneration, highlighting regenerative grazing and soil-building practices that support productivity, water quality, and biodiversity outcomes. This workshop earns two RAP Agricultural Water Quality education credits and is supported by the Transition to Organic Partnership Program.
