Special Rate for Tilth Producers of Washington Annual Conference
Participants

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are pleased to announce an upcoming
Pollinator Conservation Short Course in Port Townsend, Washington.  

This full day training will provide farmers and farm agency staff with the
latest science-based approaches to reversing the trend of pollinator
declines, and will equip you with strategies to protect and manage
agro-ecosystems for these important insects.

Organic Producers:

The National Organic Program requires producers to maintain or improve
natural resources including biodiversity. Pollinator conservation can
provide a convenient framework for meeting biodiversity certification
requirements while at the same time enhancing farm productivity.
