Penn State Extension is hosting a free, live webinar on January 22, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET, focusing on the importance of maintaining well and spring systems. Registration is required for this virtual event, with the deadline set for January 22 at 12:00 PM.
This informative session emphasizes the critical role of proper inspection and maintenance in safeguarding both family health and agricultural operations.
Well-functioning water systems are essential for preventing contamination and protecting groundwater resources, which are vital for farming and surrounding ecosystems.
Routine upkeep not only reduces the risk of costly repairs but also promotes sustainable water management, ensuring these resources remain viable for future generations.
The webinar is part of Penn State Extension’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas on the Farm series, designed for agricultural conservation professionals.
Led by a team of experts, the training will provide tools and strategies to identify and manage environmental hazards and sensitive zones on farms.
Topics include soil and water conservation, habitat protection, and the sustainable use of agricultural inputs.
By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to guide farmers in implementing best practices to minimize risks while maintaining productivity and sustainability.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and contribute to environmentally responsible farming practices. For registration visit https://extension.psu.edu/environmentally-sensitive-areas-on-the-farm-private-water
