SUMMARY:Watershed cleanups start at your doors!
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Wanted!\nThe Earth Day clean-up is an annual event hosted by the Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District’s Clean Water Program\, to help keep our waterways free of harmful trash by cleaning up in your neighborhoods and local natural areas. \nWatershed cleanups start at your doors! Trash travels through storm drains into creeks\, and rivers to become harmful pollution. \nCleanups can be on Earth Day\, April 22nd\, or any day throughout the month of April and will be self-guided and close to home. Local streets\, sidewalks\, parks\, and other natural areas are good choices. Trash within our neighborhoods becomes the trash polluting the coast once they are washed into the storm drains and waterways. \nRegister today to have your efforts counted! \nhttps://accleanwater_earthday2022.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Negotiation Skills for Womxn-led Farms: Exploring the intersections of land tenure\, conservation\, and farm viability on urban farms
DESCRIPTION:Have you struggled to navigate the complex web of government programs available for small and urban farms? Do you struggle to negotiate the best deal or most secure land tenure arrangement for your farm? Just want to meet some peers in agriculture in your area? This Learning Circle can help! \nWHAT: Negotiation Skills for Womxn-led Farms: Exploring the intersections of land tenure\, conservation\, and farm viability on urban farms \nWHEN: 2 Sessions – July 6th and 8th\, 2-4 pm Pacific \nWHERE: Zoom (link to be sent\, upon registration) \nUrban and peri-urban farmers play a vital role in feeding communities and providing access to nature for city-dwellers\, and many are led by innovative\, gritty womxn producers who often face complex barriers. Negotiation skills are critical to navigating these challenges and can help producers lay the foundation to access more conservation programs for on-farm resilience and viability. \nWe’re partnering with local agricultural resource providers to offer this peer-to-peer learning opportunity for womxn-producers in Alameda\, Contra Costa\, and San Mateo Counties. \nCo-conveners: \nCaitlin Joseph\, Women for the Land Program & Policy Manger\, American Farmland Trust\nAlyson Aquino\, District Conservationist\, Alameda County – USDA-NRCS\nClarimer Vargas-Hernandez\, District Conservationist\, Contra Costa County – USDA-NRCS\nColleen Hotchkiss\, Sustainable Agriculture Specialist\, Alameda County Resource Conservation District\nAdria Arko\, Agriculture & Climate Programs Manager & Agricultural Ombudsman\nSan Mateo Resource Conservation District\nAndrea Levy\, Senior Associate\, Land Access & Farm Business Education – California Farmlink \nDescription: \nLearning Circles apply a peer-to-peer model\, focused on participants as experts of their own experience\, providing a supportive environment from which to learn collectively. American Farmland Trust has been utilizing this model across the country to engage women farmers and landowners to support their increased access to on-farm conservation support and farm viability resources. At this womxn-centered learning circle\, you will be able to: \n\nLearn tips for successfully negotiating in a variety of farm-related scenarios.\nDialogue about challenges you are facing & build relationships with fellow farmers in your area.\nMeet local service providers who are poised to support your conservation and farm viability goals.\nHear from fellow urban farmers about innovative ways they have navigated the systems of support that exist\, including (but not limited to) USDA\, local agricultural extension and non-profit partners.\n\n*Womxn includes women\, transfeminine\, and non-binary people\, and anyone marginalized by misogyny or impacted by women-related issues.

American Farmland Trust has been utilizing this model across the country to engage women farmers and landowners to support their increased access to on-farm conservation support and farm viability resources. At this womxn-centered learning circle\, you will be able to: \n\nLearn tips for successfully negotiating in a variety of farm-related scenarios.\nDialogue about challenges you are facing & build relationships with fellow farmers in your area.\nMeet local service providers who are poised to support your conservation and farm viability goals.\nHear from fellow urban farmers about innovative ways they have navigated the systems of support that exist\, including (but not limited to) USDA\, local agricultural extension and non-profit partners.\n\n*Womxn includes women\, transfeminine\, and non-binary people\, and anyone marginalized by misogyny or impacted by women-related issues.
