On February 10th, Colonial SWCD hosted a Conservation Breakfast featuring partners including Virginia Cooperative Extension, Department of Conservation and Recreation, Virginia State University Small Farm Outreach Program, Virginia Department of Forestry, Farm Service Agency, and Natural Resources Conservation Service. Colonial staff presented current programs such as the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program, Virginia Agriculture Cost Share, and the Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture grant. The event drew excellent attendance from producers within our district and surrounding districts, as well as staff from other conservation districts. The breakfast was a great success, and we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who made it possible! We look forward to next year!
