Are you a land protection practitioner interested in engaging landowners around soil health? Do you farm and want to build resilience and profitability through soil health?

Join American Farmland Trust and Savanna Institute as they introduce the concepts and practices of Soil Health as they are being implemented at Savanna Institute’s new campus in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Soil health is the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans. Led by Savanna Institute’s Farm Director, Erik Hagan, this educational event will cover the 5 principles of soil health while exploring conservation practices on the North Farm.

When: October 19, 2022 – 9:30 am – 12:00 pm

Where: E6828 State Road 60, Spring Green, Wisconsin

Please register for the event below. Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions or special accommodations.

This field event is hosted as part of the Wisconsin Farmland Protection Partnership Project, a project of the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program. American Farmland Trust thanks USDA NRCS for their support in this project to advance farmland protection and soil health in the state of Wisconsin. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

Since 2005, Erik has devoted himself to studying, teaching, and managing agroecological systems across the country. After receiving a B.S. in Agricultural and Ecological Sciences from The Evergreen State College in 2009, Erik coordinated the South Puget Sound Small Farms Program with WSU Extension and Mason Conservation District; providing education, research and farm planning/technical assistance for producers in the region. Erik relocated to Pennsylvania in 2015 to work with the USDA Agricultural Research Service at the Pennsylvania State University while working towards a Master’s in Ecology. His research focused on alternative riparian buffer and water quality management strategies for enhancing ecosystem services within agricultural landscapes. During this time, Erik developed and managed a diversified agroforestry farm while co-coordinating outreach and training programs on agroforestry opportunities specific to the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. Erik is excited to join the Savanna Institute and the Midwest community in discovering, developing and promoting resilient and regenerative models of agroecosystems for the Midwest and beyond.
