Join Harry Greene of Propagate for a presentation and discussion about forests, farms, and floods. How can we grow good food while reducing flood risk? Yards, farms, pastures, and roads all affect the creeks and lakes downstream. Every few years, Tompkins County experiences extreme rain and flash flooding, and almost every year we’re faced with challenging water quality in Cayuga Lake. Can the landscapes that grow our food also catch runoff and slow stormwater? Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and farming. It scales up to production agriculture, and it scales down to our backyards. Trees hold onto soil and absorb intense rains, but are they profitable for farms and society?

Nothing is better than taking care of the planet and a good craft! Papermaking and Pollinators is a fun, family-friendly event that combines lessons on recycled paper and how to support our pollinators. Then, you'll make your very own recycled paper with wildflower seeds to mix in! Use your paper for doodles, notes, or cards that you can plant and watch bloom next spring!
While this program is intended for youth, children must be accompanied by an adult.
