Landowner Workshops

In the fall of 2024, H2Ozarks held a series of workshops designed to collaborate with local landowners and help them meet their land management goals. We partnered with many local conservation groups, including Boone County Conservation District, Newton County Conservation District, the Arkansas Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Division, the Arkansas Forestry Commission, Quail Forever, The Nature Conservancy, the Pollinator Partnership of Arkansas, and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service.

These workshops were made possible by funding from the Buffalo River Conservation Committee.
