Small Acreage Farm Tour - Green Gate Farm

Tour a local small acreage property in Battle Ground that boards retired horses. The property was recognized as a model property by WSU Clark County Extension in 2005 for practices implemented by the landowners that reduce mud and manage manure to reduce the negative impacts to soil and water quality. Participants will have the opportunity to , discuss stable planning and design, learn about practices that reduce mud, and manure composting and management strategies.

Come learn about how the landowners achieved recognition as a model property and how best management practices have been implemented to improve their property and protect natural resources, while reducing chore time and saving money.

Bring your family & friends and questions you have about your property. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and wear sturdy boots as we'll be in the field.

The Small Acreage Program, co-sponsored by Washington State University Clark County Extension and Clark County Environmental Services Clean Water Program, will lead the tour with the landowners. The tour begins at 10 am and runs until 12 pm and participants meet at the property in Battle Ground.
