SUMMARY:MAPN Webinar: Healthy Soil through Maximum Biodiversity: Replicable
  Models for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nFunded by the Executive Office of Energy and E
 nvironmental Affairs (EEA)\, the goal of this project is to improve soil h
 ealth and biodiversity on five Western Massachusetts farms by implementing
  a series of new practices that incorporate diverse\, native pollinator-su
 pporting vegetation. We aim to demonstrate that enhancing plant diversity 
 and supporting at-risk pollinators leads to healthier soils\, increased ca
 rbon sequestration\, and improved ecosystem function. By focusing on urban
 \, suburban and rural farms\, we intend to impact a significant portion of
  the state's land cover and create replicable models for sustainable land 
 management. Through a robust process of on-site data collection\, collabor
 ative design and community engagement\, farmers\, landowners\, youth and c
 ommunity leaders will be educated and inspired to transmit these practices
  to landscapes and populations across the Commonwealth.
