3 FALL 2016 York Soil & Water Conservation District What s New At YSWCD District No-Till Drills Have Been Sold! For many, many years, the Conservation District rented no-till drills to area farmers for pasture planting. When this program began, no-till planting was a new concept promoted as a better practice than tilling for maintaining soil health, there were no local shops providing rentals and new drills were too expensive for a small farmer to buy. The York Conservation District bought its first no-till drill in the1990s and offered it for rent as a service to local farmers. Today, no-till planting is an accepted practice, many local farmers have invested in their own notill drills, and there are local equipment dealers who rent them. With the increasingly expensive maintenance cost of keeping this equipment, District Commissioners decided that now was the time to get out of the drill renting business. School Garden Volunteer Workshops The Conservation District helps many schools across the county with school gardening programs in the spring and volunteers are needed to assist, especially during the May garden harvest. To find out more about how you can help, please register for a 2017 Garden Volunteer Workshop they will be held on: Thursday, January 5, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, January 11, 10 a.m. to noon. Call Barbara at x101 to register for one of these dates. BirdSleuth Workshop for Teachers Save the date Saturday, February 25, am to 1 pm at the Museum of York County for a free BirdSleuth Workshop for teachers! This workshop will provide materials and lessons to teach about animal diversity, adaptations and habitat by studying birds. There will be two groups one for K-5 and another for grades 6-12 and is open to all area teachers from public, private or home schools. Register at the Museum by calling Page 3
