The workshop will begin with a presentation that covers: \n\nPromising fruit species for Alberta\nHow to design\, establish\, and maintain your own “food forest”\nLow-tech strategies for harvesting and processing fruit\n\nFollowing this presentation\, participants will get the chance to build their own berry sorters that will make processing saskatoons\, chokecherries\, currants\, and haskaps a breeze! Participants need to bring their own drill and bits (1/8” for making pilot holes\, along with Phillips and #2 Robertson). \nSnacks and refreshments will be provided. There will be enough material to build 20 berry sorters (the first 20 to register). Participants will build 1 berry sorter per group or family. \nRegister via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Vermilion River County: 2-day Riparian Management Course
DESCRIPTION:Register with Chris Elder\, ALUS Coordinator\, before September 12th to reserve your spot by contacting him at (780) 852-7844 or celder@county24.com \nAre you a farmer\, rancher\, or acreage owner with a “riparian area” – that is\, land that borders some sort of water feature? Perhaps you have a stream running through your property\, a small pond out back\, or even just a wet spot in your cropland. If you do\, then the next question is: are you managing your riparian areas to their full potential? \nFrom September 21-22\, 2018\, the Agroforestry and Woodlot Extension Society is partnering up with Cows & Fish and Vermilion River County to deliver a mini-course that aims to help landowners manage their riparian areas in ways that maximize the environmental\, social\, and economic benefits to themselves\, their community\, and the greater watershed. Examples of these benefits include improved water quality\, moderation of floods and droughts\, erosion reduction\, wildlife habitat\, forage production for livestock\, recreational opportunities\, and alternative enterprises such as timber\, firewood\, fruit\, nuts\, mushrooms\, and medicinal plants. \nThe course will begin with a brief background on riparian areas and their importance within the larger watershed. Participants will then get the chance to visit a riparian area in Vermillion River County\, where they will learn how to conduct a site assessment for determining riparian health and potential to provide functions\, goods\, and services. Back in the class\, participants will be given maps of their own riparian areas and other tools to help define a vision and management plan. Course staff will support this exercise through presentations and one-on-one technical assistance on potential management practices that landowners may wish to consider (e.g. to provide opportunities for sustainable grazing\, fruit or timber production\, wildlife habitat\, etc.)\, and an additional field visit\, weather permitting. The course will end with participants having the opportunity to share their vision and management plan with other participants to receive further feedback and insight.\nIn short\, this course includes \n• Two full days of instruction/active participation on riparian area assessment\, restoration and management. This includes site visits to nearby riparian areas each day\, weather permitting.\n• Printouts of background information and management tools\, including a course workbook\, relevant informational factsheets and manuals\, laminated maps of participants’ properties\, and more\n• Lunch and snacks/refreshments for both days \nThe fee for this course is $20 per participant. This fee has been greatly reduced\, as the majority of course costs are being covered by a grant from the Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program (WRRP)\, administered by Alberta Environment and Parks. The primary objective of WRRP is to increase the natural ability of the province’s watersheds to reduce the intensity\, magnitude\, duration and effects of flooding and drought through watershed mitigation measures. Widespread implementation of the riparian restoration and management practices taught in this course has the potential to mitigate flooding and drought throughout the watershed while also providing direct benefits to landowners. \n
