NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – This spring’s “Green Living” seminars and workshops, hosted by the Berkshire Environmental Resource Center (BERC) at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA), will continue Thursday, April 2, at 5:30 p.m. with a workshop on “Outsmarting Weeds,” in Murdock Hall, conference room 218.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
This workshop on “Outsmarting Weeds” will be given by Steve Gilman, who wrote the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) handbook on Organic Weed Management.
Gilman has been farming organically since 1976, growing herbs and vegetables in the Saratoga, N.Y. area. He is a longtime presenter and writer on organic matters. Recently, he served as managing director of the North East Organic Network (NEON), a USDA research project administered through Cornell University.
Gilman also has served in numerous capacities on the boards of NOFA-NY and the NOFA Interstate Council.
“Good Food: Sustainable Agriculture for the 21st Century” aims to inform students and the community about why and how to increase the sustainability of our food system.
Participants will learn ways to directly contribute to the improvement of agricultural sustainability through hands-on workshops on green gardening techniques. No reservation is required.
For more information, go to www.mcla.edu/greenliving or contact Elena Traister of MCLA’s environmental studies program, 413-662-5303.
