Jayhawk Audubon Society: "Saving farmland, Farming sustainably, Securing our future"
When: Monday, May 19, 2008, 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Trinity Lutheran Church, 1245 New Hampshire St., Lawrence
Cost: Free
Age limit: All ages
Description: Barbara Clark and her husband operate “Maggie’s Farm”, a small, sustainable farm in north Lawrence where they raise a handspinner's flock of sheep for their wool products. Barbara is an active member of “Citizens for Responsible Planning”, a group that came together in opposition to the recent Airport Business Park Proposal. This proposal requested that the Lawrence City Commission annex and rezone for development 144 acres north of the airport that contains Class 1 Prime Agricultural Soils, some of the very best soils in Douglas County. Barbara will discuss her work with this group and her interest in maintaining the rural farming traditions of Douglas County.
All programs of the Jayhawk Audubon Socity are free and open to the public.
