Welcome to the Tippecanoe County Soil & Water Conservation District
Women's Conservation Learning Circle
Nov. 3, 2022 at Prophetstown State Park
This session's topic will be invasive species.
Join us for a peer-to-peer discussion for women landowners about invasive species management.
Estimates indicate that women now own or co-own nearly half the land in the Midwestern Corn Belt and are increasingly managing land on their own as they inherit it from their spouses or parents. Many women wonder whether they are doing all they can to be good stewards of their land and maintain its viability for future generations.
Managing invasive species is a challenge for many landowners. During this program, we’ll discuss individual land stewardship goals, cover the basic principles of invasive plant identification and control, and share information with one another. Women conservationists will help facilitate the discussion and share resources that can help you establish and/or reach your conservation goals, including cost-share programs and other tools.
