As a beginner, military veteran or disadvantaged farmer or rancher, you know there is a learning curve when it comes to adopting certain land management changes and conservation practices.
What if you could have access to a reliable network of experienced conservation mentors to guide you?
The Land Ethic Mentorship is a free opportunity for historically underserved farmers and ranchers who would like access to a conservation mentor to help answer questions about land management. Sand County Foundation’s Leopold Conservation Award recipients serve as program mentors and look forward to helping participants navigate state and federal agricultural conservation programs.
Mentees will:
* have timely access to these conservation champions.
* receive technical support and mentorship on navigating USDA conservation programs and practices.
* have access to field days and webinars designed to meet their agricultural, conservation, and professional goals.
Tell us about yourself and your farm to find out how you can become part of our free mentorship program for underserved farmers and ranchers.
