Sowing the Seeds of Grassland Restoration: CNGA’s 30th Anniversary Celebration
CNGA and Hedgerow Farms are partnering for the 14th year to offer this opportunity to look back and look forward at grassland restoration and practice in California’s spectacular native grasslands. We’ll take you through the restoration process: from wildland seed collection through farm production to tours of restored field site. Event Flyer found here.
