Statistics show that women increasingly end up as the sole owners and managers of farmland. Often, as wives or daughters they have not been active in the day to day management, or not as active as they would have liked. This results in lots of questions and anxiety over making management decisions regarding farming practices and conservation measures with tenants or other heirs. Studies also show that women are more comfortable asking questions and learning in a less formal setting and without their male counterparts present. Therefore, these "Mom, Apple and Conservation" workshops are being designed by and for women only. Women conservation professionals will be on hand to provide information on conservation programs and management practices, and there will be opportunity for roundtable discussion with other women about your challenges and questions, and to identify other information and resource needs.
