NEWARK, Del. — Agricultural and environmental professionals, citizen scientists, students and community members alike are invited to a free Film Screening & Panel Discussion on “Delmarva and the Ground for Change” on May 12 at 6 p.m., hosted by the University of Delaware’s Cooperative Extension Service and US Department of Agriculture Climate Hubs.

Environmental stewardship of farmers around the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays has made them leaders in practices that protect healthy soils and safeguard working lands against climate change. This film follows three different family-owned farming operations on the Delmarva Peninsula who care about and depend on soil.

The after-show panel discussion will feature Kasey Taylor, state conservationist, U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service; Rose Ogutu, horticulture specialist, Delaware State University; and Karrah Kwasnik, filmmaker, U.S. Department of Agriculture Northeast Climate Hub.

This event is brought to you by the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources — a land-grant institution.
