Ag Allies Walk and Talks Coming to Peggy Rockefeller Farm, July 3.
BAR HARBOR — We’re thrilled to offer another community presentation by Ag Allies this year! Ag Allies is a statewide organization working with farmers and landowners to preserve habitat for ground nesting bird species such as bobolinks, savanna sparrows and other native wildlife. In this walk and talk director/founder Laura Lecker and farm manger April Nugent will discuss this conservation program and how we’re engaging with it on the farm. We’ll walk our project site fields to observe the birds there, learn more about their amazing life cycles and the importance of preserving space for wildlife on working farms!
