Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) invites equine farm owners to participate in the Caring for Your Horse and Farm workshop on Feb. 6 from 10am to 2pm.
The free workshop takes place at the Caledon Village Place Community Room 18313 Hurontario Street, Caledon.
“This workshop is a great way for equine farmers to assess their operations and create a personalized action plan to make environmental improvements,” said Mike Puddister, deputy CAO, CVC.
“A one thousand pound horse produces about nine tons of manure each year. Learning how to turn waste into a resource is one example of how this workshop helps equine farmers and the environment.”
Mark Eastman, CVC’s agricultural specialist, will explain how to manage horse manure, improve pasture quality and protect natural features like ponds, wetlands and streams.
Participants can also schedule a site visit for technical support. Register by noon Feb. 1 at creditvalleyca.ca/events. Call 1-800-668-5557 ext. 436.
