Douglas County 4-H community,

Thought some of you might be interested in this upcoming workshop.

You are invited to a free Small Acreage Workshop on Saturday, March 6 at Elbert Elementary School from 9-11:30 am.

Ben Berlinger from Natural Resources Conservation Service will offer an insightful look at animal grazing behavior. He will discuss how social behavior can influence food selection, what types of forage animals prefer, nutritional needs, toxins and aversions.

Next, learn from local expert Michelle Oldham of El Paso County Noxious Weeds about how to identify, control, and prevent weeds on your property.

Additionally, there will be various vendors and informational booths with representatives from local Conservation Districts and Division of Wildlife. Coffee and donuts will be served.
