Ways to Protect Our Watershed
Sustainable Agriculture
A Workshop Held August 27, 2004, at Belle Meade Schoolhouse
One of the most important actions we can take to protect our watershed is to manage our agricultural lands carefully and help to sustain farming as a key industry in our County. Beginning with our workshop on this topic in August 2004, we have been gathering information to assist landowners, farmers, and the general citizenry in understanding the benefits of sustainable agriculture, getting help, and implementing best practices.
