Join Grand Isle County Natural Resources Conservation District and the Vermont Association of Conservation Districts on Thursday, October 13 from 10:00 - Noon for an event at Islandacres Farm in South Hero!
Elizabeth (Izzy) Bazluke, GIS & Natural Resources Planner and UAV Pilot will demonstrate how Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or "drone" technology can expedite and improve on-the-ground conservation. This flight, like one of many since the launch of the VACD UAV program in 2021, provides greater reach, access, and efficiency to the landowner – arming them with the knowledge to better understand changes in their land and reduce agricultural non-point source pollution, improve soil health, and support farm viability. You may be surprised to learn about all the applications now available to landowners and land managers across Vermont!
This event fulfills (2) total hours of Water Quality Training Credits for farmers from the Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets.
