Farmer Friday is evolving.

Instead of asking growers to come to us, we want to come to you!

Our new Farmer Field Walks are focused on building stronger relationships with local growers through on-farm visits and practical conservation support.

We’ll bring the coffee, walk the property with you, listen to your goals and challenges, and explore opportunities related to soil health, irrigation efficiency, habitat, conservation planning, funding opportunities, and more.

Every operation is different, and these visits are designed to meet you where you are.

Interested in having ESRCD visit your farm or ranch? Reach out to Chris Yohannan at [email protected] to start the conversation.

More details coming soon.

Monitoring is one of the most important parts of restoration work. 🔎🐝
Through our Wildlife Conservation Board hedgerow project, our restoration team regularly monitors sections of planted hedgerow habitat to help us understand how these spaces are functioning over time.
During monitoring, staff survey a 200-foot section of hedgerow, documenting pollinators like native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects along with other signs of habitat activity.
This long-term data helps us track how pollinators are using these spaces and helps guide future restoration efforts across our region.

Check out this beautiful blooming Elegant Clarkia! This annual wildflower is part of our native wildflower see mix and if you planted yours earlier this year, you might be seeing some blooms. This amazing wildflower is great for your home garden and helps attract native bees and other pollinators.

This season has been a busy one for our Education Department!

🌱The team has been tending to our SOILS Education Center garden. Caring for pants and building new garden boxes!

🌱They’ve hosted a series of SLEWS education days for local high school students. This included school farm visits & a visit to MJC.
