The Agricultural Conservation Passport is designed especially for new conservation professionals to gain valuable hands-on experience with Pennsylvania Conservation Organizations.
This program offers participants a chance to learn about various conservation methods and sustainable land management directly from experts. It also helps improve skills, expand knowledge, and build connections through networking with participating organizations.
The experience starts at Ag Progress Days at booth J210 inside the Harrington Building, where participants pick up their passport.
The program highlights eleven key stops, each focusing on different aspects of agricultural conservation. To earn a completion prize, participants must visit at least eight stops and get their passport punched at each location.
After visiting the required stops, participants return to booth J210 to claim their prize, which recognizes their commitment to learning and encourages ongoing involvement in conservation efforts.
While only eight stops are required, participants are encouraged to visit as many supporting organizations as possible. These extra visits provide additional learning opportunities and help build a broader understanding of conservation practices.
By engaging fully in the Agricultural Conservation Passport, new conservation professionals can deepen their expertise and develop meaningful relationships within the conservation community. This program serves as a valuable platform for advancing careers and fostering collaboration in sustainable agriculture and land management.
