Mayor Greenburg’s proposed budget calls for severe cuts to the Jefferson County Soil & Water Conservation District. These cuts put critical conservation work at risk. From watershed protection to promoting sustainable agriculture, strong communities invest in the land and water that sustains them. Send a comment to your Metro Council representative and tell them to fully fund the Soil & Water Conservation District.

Low Tunnels are a great addition to gardens. Adding hoops with various covers can support many different gardening activities including: reduction pest damage; frost protection and season extension. We will be helping the Shelby Park gardeners bend EMT conduit and install hoops over raised beds. Come learn alongside the gardeners about how low tunnels can support your gardening goals.
This is a WORKshop, which means you will be doing the work alongside Conservation District employees. Please come dressed to work outdoors. Closed toed-shoes, gloves and water and recommended for this activity. If you have questions, please contact Bethany Pratt, Environmental Educator at [email protected].
