Urban Farm Education Field Day on Wednesday September 24th from 2-5pm

You are invited to an Urban Farm Education Field Day on Wednesday September 24th from 2-5pm on Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory where I will be participating with a number of my colleagues.  The event is free and open to the public, but they ask for registration in order to be able to email the participants the parking and travel instructions due to construction on the farm that changes our traffic patterns. The event takes place at the Student Farm section on Waterman.  The link to register is below, there is also a QR code on the flyer listed below the agenda.
