Area 4 Soil Corps Zoom Discussion Forums
February 23, 2022 @ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Area 2 Soil Corps Zoom Discussion Forum
Thanks to all that were able to make the Soil Corps Discussion Forums in Ennis, Missoula, Great Falls, and Glasgow the past couple of weeks. I have scheduled a Zoom option for Area 2 & 4 next week if you are interested in weighing in about the potential for a Soil Corps AmeriCorps program in Montana. Please RSVP as soon as possible here if you plan to attend. Thanks.
Area 2: Wednesday, Feb 23 9-11AM
The Discussion Forums invite Conservation Districts and other partner organizations to have a conversation around building soil health capacity in our respective regions. Specifically, is there a need for a Soil Corps program in Montana and what might that look like? Many districts operate on a lean budget, so how can an AmeriCorps member add value to your already strapped team? What kind of projects does your community need assistance with? Many districts and organizations have spoken via survey about what their region’s needs are in regards to potential soil health projects they could use more help with, whether that’s actual soil sampling, help with outreach, grant writing, help with soil assessments, etc. We will focus these discussions on the opportunities and barriers of hosting a member. Please join us for a Zoom discussion. Partner organizations outside of districts are welcome to attend.
