Presenters: Barbara Shaffer and Kay Schultz, members of Save our Soil

PVMN Continuing Education Eligible

*This program will be held in-person at the Education Center of the Hospice of the Panhandle. We will also offer it via zoom for those that prefer to attend virtually.

The Potomac Valley Audubon Society welcomes Barbara Shaffer and Kay Schultz as they present, “Lawns to Life! Earth Depends on It”.

The program will be co-led by Barbara Shaffer and Kay Schultz, members of Save our Soil, a grassroots group in Shepherdstown that is focused on aiding in the regeneration of the land in our care by learning about and tending healthy soil, planting native plants and trees, and expanding our local food supply by growing and purchasing food that is grown using regenerative practices.

They will share video presentations of the work of the members – both novices and more experienced gardeners, to replace some of their lawns and increase soil health and plant diversity.  You will learn how to join the growing movement to regenerate the soil under your feet, become a part of the “backyard national park” initiative, and help make your community a diverse, absorptive, carbon sink that produces healthy food for us and our kin.
