Those who indicated they will attend on the river cleanup registration do not need to register again.
This presentation will explore ways to manage soil to enhance water quality and address climate change. Naim will discuss how tillage and what we decide to grow in soil can be leveraged to restore ecosystems and communities. He will highlight the benefits of edible landscapes, food forests, and actions we can take to take better care of the Earth.

As director of the DPFLI, he is committed to growing an abundance of food in eco-conscious ways, connecting people to nature, and creating space for learning and healing.
