The Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Horse Outreach Workgroup is pleased to announce the first Equine Conservation Summit will be held on Saturday, Nov. 14, in California, Maryland, at the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland.
The Summit is geared toward anyone who owns or cares for horses and will run from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Featuring a series of educational workshops that cover soil health, nutrient management, equine nutrition and pasture maintenance, it will provide Maryland equine enthusiasts with the resources needed to benefit both horses and land.
The day will conclude with the opportunity for horse farm owners to ask questions of a panel that can help them find the technical and financial resources needed to achieve their goals.
In addition, the Summit will feature an Exhibit Hall where attendees can check out new products, services and ideas. Participants are encouraged to join an informal gathering after the Summit’s conclusion at The Greene Turtle in California, Maryland, to network with other members of the equine community.
Please visit the Summit’s website to register and learn more about the event. Registration costs $50. If you have any questions or wish to sponsor the event, please contact Maryland Conservation Partnership Coordinator Becky Remsberg at [email protected].
