Mill Swamp Indian Horses and the Virginia Farmer/Veteran Coalition Sept 25,26, and 27 hosting a three-day WORK-shop on regenerative agriculture, soil and water conservation, wildlife habitat enhancement. Open to the public at no charge.

Sessions will include creating and using different types of compost, construction of swales and berms, hügelkultur, biochar, and winter pasture sowing. This will be a more than merely hands on. Participants will assist in creating the structures and practices that are creating super soil for our pastures. There is no charge to participate, and the sessions are open to the public. Bring your shovel. The sessions will be of particular interest to high school students who are interested in agriculture and environmental protection. Participants can attend all three sessions, or just one or two of them. Schedule will be announced shortly. Come and learn what is possible. Spend some time in the country and help us advance our long term goal of creating a no-runoff pasture system. You will meet some of Americas rarest historic horses and livestock and will even learn a bit about how for nearly fifteen years we have been using horses to improve the lives of veterans with PTSD and victims of a wide range of trauma. Come on out and see how we work with no paid staff and simply a collection of dedicated volunteers to preserve nearly extinct horses, teach music and history, and build strong families. Sessions held at Mill Swamp Indian Horses, 9299 Moonlight Road, Smithfield Va. For more information contact [email protected]
