What happens above and below the ground belongs in the same farm plan. Living Soils: Regenerative Systems, Boost Biodiversity on Farm takes that connected view in an in-person workshop on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
A farm-systems approach
The half-day workshop looks at living soils alongside pollinator habitat and on-farm biodiversity, treating them as related parts of a productive agricultural system. Soil building is a stated learning topic, and the session is described as hands-on.
The workshop also points participants toward Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding. Anyone considering a particular conservation project may want to ask the district which funding opportunities and hands-on activities the session will cover before registering.

Conservation learning beyond one workshop
Madera/Chowchilla Resource Conservation District organizes the session as part of a wider education program. Its other workshop topics include cover cropping, irrigation efficiency and pollinator habitat; a previous hedgerow workshop, for example, examined soil health and beneficial insects. Those events give context to the district’s work, rather than a detailed agenda for Living Soils.
