Advanced Grazing Mentorship Program Pasture Walk – Stella, Amherst Island
May 11 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
When: May 11, 2024, 10 am to 1 pm
Where: Stella, Amherst Island
Theme: Fencing Clinic & Carbon Cycling
Mentor: Anita O’Brien
Participants will get to visit a bare site and learn from our grazing mentors about what goes into the fence planning process. By the end of morning you’ll get to use what you learned and try your hand at mapping out a fencing plan for the location. Attendees will also get to learn from Christine O’Reilly, OMAFRA Forage & Grazing Specialist as she talks about Carb-loading your soils: Rotational grazing for production and the planet. Pasture plants need a chance to recover after each grazing event. Learn what “full recovery” looks like, how long this takes, and how rotational grazing fits into soil health and carbon sequestration.
Location details will be provided after registration. Lunch is provided and there’s a networking hour following the event for those who wish to participate. The event is free of charge but registration is required and space is limited. Don’t forget to BYOC – Bring Your Own Chair.
This Pasture Walk is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) applications in the Rotational Grazing category.
