Center for Land-Based Learning SLEWS program worked with Christian Brothers High School students on a very cool technique for streambank stabilization. The NRCS "bioengineering" practice involves installing willow bundles that will act as living structures to protect the bank from erosion while also providing wildlife habitat! Check out the link to our field day report and photos!

Center for Land-Based Learning Yet another article on the jobs available in agriculture - this one by the Associated Press - and the numbers of students going to ag schools because of their interest in biology and the environment. This is what CLBL programs are all about!

Center for Land-Based Learning Heading to Vallejo to seed native grass at Hann's Park with Jesse Bethel HS kids. The area they'll be seeding was burned by an arson fire and needs some erosion control and native habitat enhancement.

I still feel that Craig McNamara's contribution to agricultural education for teens is great. Also, is the "SLEWS BBQ" sign still in the chicken coupe?

Jory - that's funny, because I was just over near the coop and was wondering why that sign was in there...thanks for your comment as well - I will make sure that Craig hears it!
