SUMMARY:Outdoor Mushroom Farming Series: Laying Yard Management\, Harvesting\, and Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the shiitake laying yard to learn about managing shiitakes\, as well as other mushrooms\, as a crop. At this hands-on workshop\, participants will experience soaking\, fruiting and harvesting shiitakes\, and will learn what is required to build your own mushroom yard. In addition\, we will examine where we harvested small pole-size trees used for inoculating the shiitake mushrooms and understand the rationale for harvesting those particular trees as part of forest improvement. Participants can be sure that they will leave this class with mushrooms to try and will gain an understanding of how to profit from this newly recognized crop.

SUMMARY:Project Ground Nesting Bees
DESCRIPTION:Project GNBee – how you can help to preserve our most threatened and valuable pollinators: the ground-nesting\, solitary bees. Ground-nesting\, solitary bees comprise 70% of all bee species. They are valuable\, but vulnerable\, pollinators across the landscapes and habitats of New York. \nPrevious bee conservation initiatives have focused on enhancing floral resources\, but little attention has been focused on preserving nesting habitats. \nWith funding from the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability\, we have developed a community science project aimed at locating\, researching\, and conserving ground-nesting bee aggregations wherever we find them. \nThe talk will provide background on bee biology and life history\, threats to bee populations\, and how you can help us both study and conserve valuable bee nesting sites. \nThis program is valued at $20\, however\, please pay what you are able. Paying more than $20 will help others attend the class.

SUMMARY:NY Soil Health Field Day: Biochar\, Compost and Building Climate Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by CCE Suffolk Agricultural Stewardship Program and CCE Suffolk Vegetable/Potato Program in coordination with Cornell Small Farms and NY Soil Health This soil health field day will include discussions and demonstrations of research on various soil amendments including biochar and compost in nursery\, vegetable\, and vineyard production systems. We will discuss how these soil amendments can improve soil properties and build climate resiliency on farms. Summer cover crops will also be discussed. \n\nA dialogue group will be hosted the following day\, attendees at the field day are invited to participate in a dialogue group from 6:15 pm -7:30 pm at LIHREC following the Soil Health Field Day. We will be providing stipends of $40 per participant\, and responses will remain confidential. Refreshments served! \nThe Rich Earth Institute\, based in Brattleboro\, Vermont\, in partnership with Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension\, are interested in better understanding the perspectives of a range of farmers\, agricultural advisors and other land managers about the use of novel soil amendments – including human urine\, biochar made from biosolids\, and biochar made from other biomass such as wood pellets. \nPlease contact Rich Earth Social Research Director\, Tatiana Schreiber at tatiana@richearthinstitute.org (802) 387-2781 or Cornell PI Deborah Aller\, at da352@cornell.edu
