Join us on Thursday, April 25th, 11am-12pm, for a meeting of the Equitable Land Access Working Group.

Additionally, we will learn about farmland preservation efforts in the County, and learn about USDA's recent initiatives and opportunities to promote local and regional food systems. We plan to have a lively discussion to learn more, and to connect to and fuel the momentum of these exciting efforts.
