Erosion Control and Soil Amendments at Tedford Farm

September 16, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Come learn about learn about the impact of erosion control structures and soil amendments!

Across the intermountain west, interest has been growing in using organic amendments and native seeding with erosion control structures to increase plant establishment and productivity while ameliorating active head cuts. The Carbon Ranch Initiative has built rock rundowns on five ranches across New Mexico, with treatments of compost, mulch, and a native grass mixture to measure and compare the impacts of the treatments. This workshop invites participants to Tedford Farm, where we’ll see what the structures and test plots look like about a year after the initial treatment, learn to make structures, and collect the first year’s soil health data.

Contact CJ Ames, cj.ames@quiviracoalition.org, with any questions.
