The Discussion Forums invite Conservation Districts and other partner organizations to have a conversation around building soil health capacity in our respective regions. Specifically, is there a need for a Soil Corps program in Montana and what might that look like? Many districts operate on a lean budget, so how can an AmeriCorps member add value to your already strapped team? What kind of projects does your community need assistance with? Many districts and organizations have spoken via survey about what their region’s needs are in regards to potential soil health projects they could use more help with, whether that’s actual soil sampling, help with outreach, grant writing, help with soil assessments, etc. We will focus these discussions on the opportunities and barriers of hosting a member. Please join us for an in-person discussion at the following Conservation Districts. Partner organizations outside of districts are welcome to attend.
