Savory Hub Naturalist Series: Stream Health & Critters
April 15, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Do a deep dive in our shallow streams and creeks on the Farm with our friends at Asheville’s own Environmental Quality Institute!
Start off with Stream Macroinvertebrate Information Exchange protocol and get into the stream for active sampling and identification.
Learn about our Holistic Land Management from Farm Director Virginia, and how this practice works in tandem with waterways and stream health.
Spotted on the farm by our farm crew, staff & neighbors: crawdads, salamanders, toads, frogs, snakes, snails and other mollusks! Our waters have been monitored by local organizations for Eastern Hellbender activity, and we have actively breeding hellbender populations.
Attendees will break for an included biscuit brunch* from butcher Brian’s kitchen, as kick-netting is hungry work. When attending classes, you will receive a 5% discount in the Farm Store & Butchery!
Be a Savory Scholar, sign up for our next in the Savory Hub Naturalist Series: Soil Health & Creatures with UNCA’s Environmental Lecturer Jake Hagedorn!
Date: Saturday, April 15th, 2023
Time: 9am-12pm
