Nicole Masters, an agro-ecologist from New Zealand, will teach a public seminar on building soil health, capacity, and productivity using simple and practical methods while taking carbon out of the atmosphere.
Masters is an expert at building soil at a rate previously thought impossible. By carefully grazing, growing crops, or gardens on the land above, one can increase important soil microbes and fungi in the soil. Masters will show how to use inexpensive and practical methods to stimulate the underground life in the soil. In addition to production benefits, attendees will be getting down and dirty in the soil and see how to pull carbon out of the air and into the soil (where it can do a lot of good for all of us).
Northern Plains Resource Council and the Western Organization of Resource Councils will be hosting the event with Steve Charter and family. The field seminar is $45 and will be followed by a ranch cookout for $15.
