Community Conversations is an opportunity to join local experts and community members virtually. This program series addresses important issues, from affordable farmland to Indigenous land stewardship and their connection to conservation. One-hour Zoom sessions will include brief presentations, time for questions and answers, and the opportunity to connect with others.

This month, we will explore how conservation efforts and affordable farmland can go hand in hand.

Blake Hill of Hussman Hollow Flower Farm will be joined by Sam Calhoun, CLC’s Conservation Programs Manager, to discuss how one landowner’s desire to donate property became an opportunity for affordable farmland. Blake will share more about what’s going on at the farm, while Sam will share more about ways we can all support affordable farmland initiatives in Columbia County.
