Sponsored by: the Endless Mountains Heritage
Region (EMHR) with funding from PA DCNR
When the first white settlers arrived in the Endless Mountains, they found flourishing Native American agriculture that included corn and other crops. That early history endures to today with farming being the backbone not only of our economy, but our culture and heritage, influencing our relationship with the land, our neighbors and our government. Mike Lovegreen, former Bradford County Conservation District Manager for 33 years and current EMHR board member, will present an overview of the often veiled extent of agriculture's role and influence in the region. The presentation, as well as the following open discussion will be based on the recently completed Agricultural Viability Study conducted with EMHR funding. Tickets are available by calling 570-996-1500 or at the ticket booth
