Yesterday, our 3rd Grade Conservation Tour was a tremendous success, bringing together students, educators, and community partners for a day filled with engagement and discovery focused on topics in natural resources and conservation. Throughout the day, five third-grade classes from the Gladwin Intermediate School rotated through seven unique learning sessions led by Gladwin 4-H, Gladwin Master Gardeners, MSU Extension Beef and Grazing Educator, the Gladwin Conservation District, the NRCS, the DNR, and the Gladwin County Spongy Moth Suppression Coordinator. The event was a great way to inspire the next generation of conservation leaders and promote environmental stewardship in our community. We are grateful to our partners for their dedication and expertise in making this event possible!

MSU Extension and the MSU Center for Regenerative Agriculture hosted a webinar series highlighting key principles of regenerative agriculture, emphasizing healthy soils, resilient farms and adaptable, farm-specific practices. One session focused on integrating livestock into cropping systems, showing how plants, animals and soil work together to improve nutrient cycling, water retention and biodiversity. Farmers were encouraged to start small, learn through experience and connect with others, with MSU Extension offering ongoing support and resources.

While regenerative practices aim to improve soil, water, nutrient cycling and biodiversity—and strengthen farmer and community well being—they also come with challenges. Learn key insights on how to navigate and implement these different principles.
