Workshop: Land Assessment

This workshop will take students into the field (weather permitting) for hands-on land assessment. We will conduct a soil sample, measure compaction, assess biological systems, and discuss methods of improving or degrading the existing system.

For more information visit the Stone Barns Center website.

Workshops are free and open to the public. To register, contact Laurie at laurief@stonebarnscenter.org.
