Clean Ocean Access’ Land to Sea Speaker Series is back for an expanded second season! The first talk on November 16 will feature Sara Churgin of Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District and Margie Brennan of the Portsmouth School District. The two will talk about the Portsmouth AgInnovation Farm, its success so far and the vision for the future. The AgInnovation Farm, located at Cloverbud Ranch in Portsmouth, is a student volunteer-run farm where kids learn about sustainable agriculture with hands-on problem-solving experiences.

The Land to Sea Speaker Series and associated events are meant to foster a multi-generational conversation and sense of collaboration regarding watershed stewardship. Including evening outreach presentations for adults, morning education workshops at schools for children, and outdoor, place-based programs for all ages, these events will connect learning with the primary goals of increasing community and family engagement, the potential for stewardship action, and promoting an understanding of where our communities exist within our fragile watershed.
